We officially have another clue about “Only Murders in the Building” season three, and it’s a big one! On March 21, Selena Gomez shared two photos of herself wearing a wedding gown, white gloves, and combat boots while seemingly on the beloved series’s set. Alongside the images, Gomez cryptically wrote, “I have no caption. Just a regular day at work. @onlymurdershulu.”
Her costars Steve Martin and Martin Short also appeared in images with Gomez in the wedding gown, with Martin writing on Twitter, “Guess what just happened!”

The hint is just the latest that Gomez has given fans via her social media. Back on Jan. 17, she shared a TikTok video featuring her costars Martin and Short as well as a very familiar face: none other than Meryl Streep. Returning guest stars Paul Rudd and Andrea Martin also appear in the video. “We’re on set!” Gomez says. “The gang is back!” She then pans to Rudd, and finally to Streep, who sweetly asks if anyone needs anything.

Shortly after Gomez shared her video, Martin followed suit, posting a Twitter photo of himself, Streep, Rudd, Short, and Gomez together. “The filming of Season 3 of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ has begun!” he wrote. “A cast to dream of.”
One of the most exciting updates thus far came on March 12, though, when Hulu dropped a short teaser trailer revealing a hint about Streep’s character, who pops up during a table read for what is presumably for one of Oliver’s productions. “Oh my God, it’s me!” Streep laughs when it’s her turn to speak. “Oh, I’m sorry. It’s me, isn’t it?”
Streep isn’t the only new addition to “Only Murders in the Building.” “Emily in Paris” star Ashley Park has also joined the series for season three, Deadline announced on Feb. 23. She stars in a recurring role for a character named Kimber, a Broadway ingenue. Additionally, back in October 2022, Deadline reported that Jesse Williams is now part of the “Murders” gang, as well. The “Only Murders in the Building” Twitter account confirmed the news, along with Williams, who shared a single detective emoji.
“OMITB” wrapped its second season on Aug. 23, 2022, and it actually revealed season three’s big mystery in the last moments of the finale: who killed Ben Glenroy? In the final episode of the season, the show fast-forwards a year and introduces another new cast member to the series, Rudd as Ben, who quickly drops dead. In season three, viewers will see more of the mysterious actor before he kicked the bucket. Williams, who’s best known for his work on “Grey’s Anatomy,” has worked on Broadway in real life, most recently in the acclaimed run of “Take Me Out.” It’s very possible he will play a fake Broadway star in season three.
Hulu announced that the hit series had been renewed for a third season on July 11, 2022, shortly after it became one of the most-nominated TV series at the 2022 Emmys, scoring a whopping 17 nods for its first season, including outstanding comedy series. It won two, including outstanding guest actor in a comedy series for Nathan Lane.
“‘Only Murders in the Building’ is the true crown jewel of our slate,” Craig Erwich, president of Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment, said in a statement about the renewal back in July. “Its appeal across generations, the intersection of humor and heart, and its truly original approach are a hallmark of and testament to Dan, John, Steve, Marty, and Selena’s work. We are grateful to be able to continue telling the stories of Charles, Oliver, and Mabel to viewers that have consistently shown us they crave more of this story.”
In season two, Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) scramble to clear their names after Bunny is murdered, and it seems like they’ll be prime suspects yet again in Ben’s murder. The new mystery for season three also moves the center of the action away from the Arconia for the first time.
