Will Meryl Streep Return for Season 4 of ‘Only Murders in the Building’?


Meryl Streep is back for Season 4 of Only Murders in the Building.

Streep is slated to reprise her recurring role as Loretta Durkin, which she initially played in Season 3 of the Hulu series.

Loretta appeared in Oliver’s (Martin Short) recent Broadway performance, and the two characters began a romantic relationship.

Only Murders in the Building, co-created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, revolves around three neighbours in a New York City apartment building named the Arconia: Charles Haden-Savage (Martin), Oliver Putnam (Short), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez).

The three collaborate to create a true crime podcast about their neighbours’ murders, for which they are frequently mistakenly implicated.

Although the actual plot of Season 4 is uncertain, the core trio is expected to travel to Los Angeles before returning to New York at the start of the season.

Streep is the most recent Season 4 cast member to be announced; Molly Shannon, a “high-powered Los Angeles businesswoman,” has also joined the show.
