Hulu’s Only Murders In The Building continues to assemble an all-star Season 4 cast, with Emmy winner Eugene Levy as the latest addition. In his first TV acting role since Schitt’s Creek, Levy is set to recur on Only Murders In the Building next season. He joins series stars/executive producers Steve Martin, who also co-created the mystery comedy, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as well as new recurring players Molly Shannon and Eva Longoria and returning Meryl Streep.
All new characters will be integral to the twists and turns of the investigation into the murder of Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), Charles-Haden Savage’s (Martin) stunt double from his years on the series Brazzos and its 2020 revival.
The casting reunites Levy with his old friend Short. The two hail from the same Canadian hometown, got their start on SCTV and have collaborated on multiple occasions. Levy also did cameos alongside both Martin and Short in the Father of the Bride movies.
Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich revealed in a recent Deadline interview that the Only Murders In the Building trio, Charles, Oliver (Short) and Mabel (Gomez), will kick off the new season with a trip to Los Angeles before returning to The Arconia in their search of Sazz’s killer.
The Season 3 finale saw Loretta (Streep), Oliver and Mabel all contemplating a move to LA.
Produced by 20th Television, OMITB, Hulu’s most watched original comedy series, is co-created and co-written by Martin and John Hoffman who also executive produce alongside Short, Gomez, Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal.
Levy co-created with his son Dan Schitt’s Creek and also starred in the CBC/Pop series which swept the 2020 Emmys with nine wins, including Outstanding Comedy Series and acting trophies for Eugene Levy and the other three principal cast members (Levy also won an Emmy for the role in 2019.)
Currently, Levy serves as host and executive producer of Apple TV+’s The Reluctant Traveler whose second season is set to premiere March 8. He is repped by UTA, Jared Levine of Yorn, Levine and Barnes, Hunter Brand Management.
