Season three finds Charles, Oliver and Mabel (played by Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez) investigating a murder behind the scenes of a Broadway show. Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd) is a Hollywood action star whose Broadway debut is cut short by his untimely death. Aided by co-star Loretta Durkin (Meryl Streep), our trio embarks on their toughest case yet, all while director Oliver desperately attempts to put his show back together. Curtain’s up!

​

You know you have a pretty special television show on your hands when the legendary Meryl Streep isn’t the lead but merely appears as a guest star. It’s a testament not only to the previous sublime two seasons but also to the quality and richness of this season which is just as superb as what has gone before. 

​

Picking up right from where it left off last season, from the very first episode of the new series, Only Murders in the Building Season 3 embraces you in a big old hug of familiarity as we’re reunited with Charles, Oliver and Mabel, our favourite murder solving sleuths. 

​

But Only Murders in the Building Season 3 doesn’t rest on its laurels. Using what the audience knows of the characters and their world from the previous seasons, it subverts our expectations and in doing so gives us a more intriguing, twisting murder mystery and richer character arcs.

The expansion of the show's setting, moving the large portion of the action outside of the Arconia to Oliver’s Broadway play, also helps to develop the world of Only Murders in the Building Season and the people in it. As you’d now expect the dialogue is quick and sharp with some of the funniest lines delivered this year on television. You can tell
 

With an incredible ensemble cast and an intriguing murder mystery, Only Murders in the Building Season 3 proves once again why it’s one of the best crafted television shows to hit our screens in years.
