In the season 2 finale, the characters Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) reach a state of normalcy after going through a number of twists and turns. But their peace is short-lived as the character Ben Glenroy (Rudd) dies onstage during a theatrical performance. Season 3 might deal with Ben Glenroy’s backstory and his mysterious death. However, neither Hulu nor the show’s creators have yet revealed whether Rudd will be a series regular or will be seen in an extended cameo.

The story of Only Murders in The Building revolves around the characters portrayed by Short, Martin, and Gomez, and their love for true crime stories. However, the stakes are raised when a person is murdered in their own apartment building.
