Season three now has a teaser trailer and the latest star, Meryl Streep, shines bright in it. Premiering on August 31, 2021, Only Murders in the Building stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as misfit murder mystery podcasters whose apartment building, the Arconia, has seen its share of homicides for them to solve. Find out just where Streep fits into the latest plot with the teaser below.

That's without even counting all the perils faced by Martin, Short and Gomez's characters. For example, season three will be driven by the murder of Ben, played by Paul Rudd of Clueless, Wet Hot American Summer, and Ant-Man fame. But don't think Ben's death means he won't be seen anymore; flashbacks are a favorite in this series. There's also no forgetting, in earlier seasons, appearances by Tina Fey, Mark Consuelos as Mabel's dad, Shirley MacLaine, Andrea Martin, Nathan Lane, and even Sting.

So, when yet another dead body turns up, she has to contemplate, "Well, you know, who are we without a homicide?" Even Short's Oliver wonders, "Is this really happening again?" By time of writing, there is no official release date for season three. However, season one aired in August 2021 and season two dropped in June 2022, implying perhaps a summer release.
