Meryl Streep to return for Only Murders in the Building season 4

Hollywood veteran Meryl Streep is set to return for the fourth season of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building. Streep will again recur and reprise her role as Loretta Durkin, the love interest of Martin Short's Oliver Putnam, reported Deadline.

She joins three-time Emmy nominee Molly Shannon who will play the role of a high-powered businesswoman from Los Angeles who finds herself drawn into the world of the investigation in New York.

Only Murders in the Building stars Charles, Oliver and Mabel as Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez respectively. The three neighbours in an apartment come together to do a podcast based on the murder of their common neighbour. While the second season saw them probe into the death of another resident, the third season features Paul Rudd as a famous actor who gets murdered. Meryl Streep also appeared in the show. Towards the end of the third season, the makers left the audience with a cliffhanger where Sazz (Jane Lynch), Charles' stunt double, gets shot by an unknown assailant. 

As previously announced, season four of the comedy starring Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez will begin with a trip to LA before the central action returns to its central location, The Arconia in their search for Sazz’s killer. Season three also ended with Loretta getting an offer to work in Los Angeles.

Further details about the plot of the new chapter are being kept under wraps.

Attached to 20th Television, the show is co-created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman. They also executive produce alongside Short, Gomez, Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal. The first three seasons of the series are available to stream in India on Disney+ Hotstar.
