Read on to find out more about the fan reactions and Meryl Streep's inclusion in the cast of Only Murders in the Building.
How are fans reacting to Meryl Streep joining Only Murders in the Building?
Earlier today, Only Murders in the Building star Selena Gomez announced on her Instagram that the brilliant Meryl Streep would be a part of the upcoming third season of the acclaimed show.
This has caused a huge uproar among fans of Only Murders in the Building, which has already managed to capture the hearts of millions over its two seasons. The third season will most likely premiere in 2023.
Here are some reactions from fans across the world.
Those who have seen the second season of the show already know that Paul Rudd had a pivotal part in the ending. Rather, Paul Rudd's death would be the source of a mystery that the trio is yet to uncover in the new season.
Meryl Streep would feature on the show, as the post did confirm, but it did not specify in what role or on how many episodes. It also didn't specify if she would play a regular, recurring, or guest role. Anyhow, it should be entertaining to watch her on screen.
Speaking about the upcoming season of Only Murders in the Building, showrunner John Hoffman said to Variety:
"Paul Rudd, after making an auspicious entrance into the world of our show at the end of Season 2 as Ben Glenroy, is someone we clearly want to know more about and see in our upcoming Season 3 — as he is a clear source of many upcoming questions and, as ever with our show, many twists yet to come!"
The news of Paul Rudd having a big role in the third season should be good enough to excite fans. But it seems they got something even better in the end. Speaking about the third season of the show, the president of Hulu Originals, Craig Erwich, also said:
"Only Murders in the Building is the true crown jewel of our slate. Its appeal across generations, the intersection of humour and heart, and truly original approach are a hallmark of and testament to Dan, John, Steve, Marty and Selena's work."
Only Murders in the Building will soon return with Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd.
