#Only Murders In The Building Season 2 Cast Somehow Gets Better, Adds Shirley MacLaine And Amy Schumer

“Only Murders in the Building” season 1 centered on three residents at the affluent Arconia apartment building in Manhattan’s Upper West Side — former ’90s detective TV star Charles Haden-Savage (Martin), washed-up Broadway director Oliver Putnam (Short), and Mabel Mora (Gomez), a young woman renovating her aunt’s unit in the building — who bond over their shared love of true crime podcasts, which in turn inspires them to investigate the suspicious death of one of their neighbors. As /Film’s Hoai-Tran Bui has put it, “Each mystery unravels with a fizzy, stylish pop, making ‘Only Murders in the Building’ out to be one of the most entertaining and most addicting new shows this season. And we haven’t even started talking about the coats.”

An Oscar-winning screen legend like Shirley MacLaine (star of “The Apartment,” “Terms of Endearment,” and other dramedy classics) and a modern comedy superstar like Amy Schumer (who’s also writing, directing, and starring in a new comedy series titled “Love, Beth” for Hulu) should make for excellent additions to the “Only Murders in the Building” cast in season 2, no matter who they end up playing. “Paper Towns” and “Suicide Squad” alum Cara Delevingne will also join the fun as Alice, an art world insider who gets tangled up in the latest murder-mystery involving the residents of the Arconia.

Last but certainly not least, Short confirmed that Nathan Lane’s Teddy Dimas will also be back for season 2 after Charles, Oliver, and Mabel blew the lid off his illicit jewelry business (and by “illicit,” I mean of the grave-robbing variety) in season 1. How will he figure into the equation? We’ll just have to wait and see until “Only Murders in the Building” season 2 begins streaming sometime later this year.
