Longoria is playing movie Mabel, Levy is the cinematic Charles and Galifianakis is an Oscar-worthy Oliver.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Read on to learn everything we know about the upcoming season.<\/span><\/p>\n True to the series’ name and established tradition so far, <\/span>Only Murders <\/span><\/em>capped off its third season by not only solving one murder, but introducing another — as a cliffhanger to hint at what’s to come.<\/span><\/p>\n This time around, the “murder in the building” happened to be\u00a0<\/span>Jane Lynch’s<\/a> character, Sazz, who is known in the story as being\u00a0Charles’ stunt double from his time on the hit ’90s crime drama\u00a0<\/span>Brazzos.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n So, will it be Sazz’s murder that <\/span>lures the trio to Los Angeles<\/a>? Or matters of the heart?<\/span><\/p>\n Fans of the show will remember that season 3 left off with an interesting proposition from <\/span>Jesse Williams’<\/a> character, Tobert, who asked Mabel to leave New York and join him in the City of Angels. Oliver got a similar offer from his own love interest, actress Loretta Durkin (<\/span>Meryl Streep<\/a>), who accepted a job in Hollywood after making a celebrated debut in Oliver’s musical.<\/span><\/p>\n While Mabel and Oliver initially turned both offers down — with Oliver insisting he can only handle L.A. in small doses —\u00a0 <\/span>ET confirmed<\/a> in early 2024 that the trio ends up on the West Coast eventually. We’ll have to stay tuned to learn why and how.<\/span><\/p>\n OMITB<\/span><\/em>‘s unlikely trio of co-stars will of course be back for new adventures and investigations in season 4, with Martin back as former crime drama star Charles-Haden Savage, Short returning as hapless theater producer Oliver Putnam and Gomez reprising her role as young artist Mabel Mora, who has somehow found companionship and professional success with the pair of men almost 50 years her senior.<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, it was confirmed in February 2024 that <\/span>Meryl Streep<\/a>\u00a0would be <\/span>returning for OMITB<\/em>‘s fourth season<\/a> as Loretta Durkin.<\/span><\/p>\n “Meryl is returning for next season because she had a tremendous time,” 20th Television president Karey Burke told <\/span>The Hollywood Reporter<\/span><\/em>‘s<\/span>\u00a0TV Top Five\u00a0<\/span><\/em>podcast<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Streep’s character is the love interest of Oliver, and was regarded as a suspect in the murder of Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd) in season 3. In the finale, however, it was ultimately revealed that she was innocent of the crime and, after a stellar debut onstage in Oliver’s musical, Loretta accepted an acting job in Los Angeles — leaving a question mark on their relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to the awards season legend, newly minted Oscar winner <\/span>Da’Vine Joy Randolph<\/a> is also returning for season 4 as police detective\u00a0Donna Williams — fresh off her Best Supporting Actress awards season sweep for her role in <\/span>The Holdovers.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/span>In June 2024, Hulu released a first-look behind-the-scenes photo from the upcoming season, revealing who some of the newly added cast members would be portraying in the upcoming season.<\/span><\/p>\n Eva Longoria<\/a>, <\/span>Eugene Levy<\/a> and <\/span>Zach Galifianakis<\/a> are all playing themselves in season 4 — Hollywood stars who have been cast in the feature adaptation of <\/span>Only Murders in the Building<\/span><\/em>.
