A major star is returning for Only Murders in the Building Season 4, as Meryl Streep has been revealed to be reprising her role from the third season.
Deadline has reported that Streep will once again be playing the part of Loretta Durkin in the fourth season of the hit Hulu mystery series. In Season 3, Streep’s character was an aspiring actress that lands a role in the newest musical from Oliver Putnam (played by Martin Short). She goes on to become his love interest and a suspect in that season’s murder investigation.
Streep is the second actress to sign on for Season 4 this week, as Molly Shannon was reported to be part of the next installment just yesterday. Additionally, a temporary change in location was also revealed.
Created by John Hoffman and Steve Martin, Only Murders in the Building follows three neighbors as they use their mutual obsession with true crime podcasts to investigate and solve crimes in their Upper West Side apartment building in New York.
What is Only Murders in the Building about?
The series’ synopsis reads: “Three strangers share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one. When a grisly death occurs inside their exclusive Upper West Side apartment building, the trio suspects murder and employs their precise knowledge of true crime to investigate the truth. Perhaps even more explosive are the lies they tell one another. Soon, the endangered trio comes to realize a killer might be living among them as they race to decipher the mounting clues before it’s too late.”
All three seasons of Only Murders in the Building are available to stream on Hulu.
