This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Yesterday, we found out that Only Murders in the Building‘s cast is headed out to Los Angeles for season 4, and now we know one person they’ll be meeting out there. Comedy veteran Molly Shannon will be joining the cast of the Hulu murder mystery comedy in a recurring role. Deadline reports that Shannon will play a high-powered LA business executive who finds herself, like so many of the show’s other characters, drawn into a murder investigation by amateur sleuths Charles Haden-Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez).
Details on the hotly-anticipated fourth season of the Hulu hit have been scarce so far, although we did recently learn that the show will be leaving the titular Arconia apartment building for a time for the sunnier climes of Los Angeles. After solving yet another murder in season three, that of insufferable movie star Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd), the three true crime devotees-turned-podcasters have another thorny case on their hands, as seen in the last seconds of the third-season finale; the murder of Charles’ longtime stunt double and friend Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch). Pataki’s history as a Hollywood stunt performer may be what takes them to the West Coast – or it may be the burgeoning movie career of Oliver’s new love interest Loretta Durkin (Meryl Streep). Either way, viewers will have to wait a while to find out; the fourth season does not yet have a set release date.
