Only Murders in the Building season 4 plot
Spoilers for season 3 below.
In the new part of the crime series, Mabel, Charles and Oliver set out to conquer the west coast. The trio receives an offer from Hollywood executives who want to adapt their podcast into a film. As we can see in the trailer, New Yorkers face many challenges in Los Angeles.
As Craig Erwich, president of the Disney Television Group, said in an interview with Collider:
Well, I’m really excited to see Steve, Martin and Selena take a little break from the apartment complex and come to Los Angeles. So in the same way that John Hoffman used the canvas of Broadway to tell what I think was one of the most unique seasons you’ve ever seen, the same unique Only Murders version will be applied to Los Angeles, which I’m very excited about . about.
However, work on the film won’t be the only thing the trio will be consuming this season; there will also be a serious investigation.
Season 3 ended in a way no one could have predicted, and as far as we know it had nothing to do with the revelation of Ben Glenroy’s killer.
It turned out that someone may have tried to kill Charles-Haden Savage. While the rest of the guests were enjoying Oliver’s musical premiere party, Charles’ stunt double Sazz Pataki popped into his flat. Moments later, she was shot by a sniper rifle and was last seen bleeding on the ground.
It is very likely that Charles was supposed to be the victim, but the killer confused him with his stunt double. It’s not the first time Charles’ life has been in danger; Jan Bellows tried to poison him in the first season. However, the fact that a sniper was targeted this time could mean it was a job for hire.
The alternative is that Sazz was the intended target, but at this point we don’t know why that might be the case. The question is: is this act connected to previous crime mysteries or an entirely new criminal affair? We also don’t know for sure that Sazz is dead – we should learn more in the coming months.
Only Murders in the Building season 4 cast
At the heart of the series are the trio of tireless podcasters and amateur detectives: Oliver Putnam, Charles-Haden Savage and Mabel Mora. Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomezrespectively starring as these characters.
What’s interesting is that in season 4 we will see the development of a movie based on the Only Murders in the Building podcast. That means the show will introduce additional actors to play Charles, Oliver and Mabel.
In the film in the series, Eugene Levy will play Charles, Zach Galifanakis will star as Oliver, while Eva Longoria will play Mabel.
We will also see the return of Michael Cyril Creighton as Howard Morris and Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Detective Donna Williams. Season 4 could also feature Tina Fey as cynical podcaster Cinda Canning, James Caverly as Theo Dimas and Ryan Broussard as Will Putnam, Oliver’s son.
After the release of the first trailer, it is certain that we will see Meryl Streep again starring as actress Loretta Durkin. At the end of season 3, the door to an acting career opened for her. Despite Lorreta’s relationship with Oliver, she decided to follow her dreams. However, it looks like the trio will meet her again in Hollywood.
That also came true Jane Lynchwho plays Sazz Pataki will return in season 4, but this may happen through flashbacks. Melissa McCarthy will also appear as Charles’ sister who lives on Long Island.
Of course, the fourth season won’t be without cameos. The cast will also include:
- Molly Shannon
- Kumail Nanjiani
- Richard Child
- Daphne Rubin-Vega
- Catherine Cohen
- Jin Ha
That’s unlikely Paul Rudd will return unless the series creators have planned flashbacks.
According to People magazine Jesse Williams will not return as Tobert, the cameraman and Mabel’s love interest in season 3. His character was offered a job in Los Angeles, so it’s easy to write him out of the show.
