Besides, the award-winning actress Paul Rudd, who made a guest appearance in Season 2 as the broadway star Ben Glenroy, will also be on board in the upcoming season. As far as Meryl Streep’s entry in Hulu’s murder mystery series or TV Shows, in general, is concerned, before this, the audiences have also seen Meryl in HBO’s Big Little Lies season two as Mary Louise, playing the role of a grieving mother-in-law to Nicole Kidman.
The actress has portrayed many meaty roles that were both challenging and inspiring. She has done it all, from Kramer vs. Kramer, Sophie’s Choice, The Iron Lady, and Mamma Mia! to one of her most illustrious characters ever played in The Devil Wears Prada, where she plays a cold-hearted editor-in-chief in New York’s prestigious fashion magazine, Miranda Priestly.
Only Murders in the Building, created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, premiered its first ten-episode season on Hulu in August 2021. The comedic approach with murder mystery plot and twist, along with superb chemistry and performances by the lead characters, instantly garnered the show positive critical acclaim.
When can we expect from Season 3 of Only Murders in the Building?
The show fans expect the creators to bring Season 3 as early as possible. However, Hulu still has a lot of time to decide on the show’s next season comeback as they see best. As far as the premiere of season 3 is concerned, there has not been any announcement regarding it. However, since seasons 1 and 2 of the shows aired in the summer, fans can expect the new season to arrive around the same time.
