What to expect from the third season of the Hulu series
The official synopsis for the new season of Only Murders in the Building, given by Hulu, reads:
"Season three finds Charles, Oliver & Mabel (played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez) investigating a murder behind the scenes of a Broadway show. Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd) is a Hollywood action star whose Broadway debut is cut short by his untimely death. Aided by co-star Loretta Durkin (Meryl Streep), our trio embarks on their toughest case yet, all while director Oliver desperately attempts to put his show back together. Curtain’s up!"
By the looks of the official synopsis, it is evident that the trio will be seen deep-diving into a case closely related to a Broadway show. A trail of complex mysteries begins to unfold when one of the lead actors of the show, Ben Glenroy, is found dead. It will be quite interesting to see if the trio will be able to get to the bottom of the case and find the main culprit responsible for the crime.
