Meryl Streep is set to appear in “only Murders in the Building” Season 4.
Streep will reprise the recurring role of Loretta Durkin, whom she started playing in Season 3 of the Hulu series. The character starred in Oliver’s (Martin Short) Broadway show in the most recent season, with the two becoming romantically involved.
Created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, “only Murders in the Building” follows Charles Haden-Savage (Martin), Oliver Putnam (Short) and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), three neighbors in a New York City apartment called the Arconia, who come together to record a true crime podcast about the murders of their fellow residents, for which they are continually framed.
Exact plot details for Season 4 are being kept under wraps, though it is known the season will begin with the main trio making a trip to Los Angeles before returning to New York.
Streep is the latest confirmed cast member for Season 4, with Molly Shannon also recently joining the series as a “high-powered Los Angeles businesswoman.”
Martin, Hoffman, Short, and Gomez all executive produce the series along with Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal. 20th Television is the studio.
