96% Only Murders in the Building: Season 3 (2023)

Why You Should Watch: Season 3 adds screen legend Meryl Streep, as an inexperienced Broadway actor. Paul Rudd returns as doofus action star Ben Glenroy, working on his Broadway debut until his murder. And, of course, the magical chemistry of comedic crime-solving podcasters Charles, Oliver, and Mabel (played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez).

Description: Three strangers share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one. When a grisly death occurs inside their exclusive Upper West Side apartment building, the trio suspects murder and employs their precise knowledge of true crime to investigate the truth. Perhaps even more explosive are the lies they tell one another. Soon, the endangered trio comes to realize a killer might be living among them as they race to decipher the mounting clues before it’s too late.
