Despite, you know, all the deaths in the building, Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short have opted to extend their stay in the Arconia. (At the very least, we hope rent will decrease.)
From the start, the popular Hulu comedy has been a success story, debuting as the streamer’s most-watched original comedy on premiere day. The hilarious mystery stars Gomez, Martin, and Short as a trio of true-crime buffs who start a podcast to investigate a murder in their own Upper West Side building, only to be drawn in by their unintended connections to the crime. Aside from outshining HBO’s The Undoing in terms of stunning jackets, the show has proven to be a steady source of lighthearted entertainment in an otherwise bleak crime genre. Hulu has renewed OMB for a second season, which comes as no surprise.
“From [co-creator Dan Fogelman’s] first lunch with Steve, during which Steve happened to mention he had an idea for a series, to [co-creator and executive producer John Hoffman] jumping on board to co-create it, to Steve agreeing to star but only if Marty joined him, to the inspired addition of Selena,” Karey Burke, president of 20th Television, said in a press statement. Every producer at this studio has been obsessed with the comedy this team delivered, and our friends at Hulu have treated it like the crown treasure that it is.
Everything we know about the case our merry band might crack next is listed below.
Martin (Charles), Short (Oliver), and Gomez (Mabel) return in their respective roles. Gomez took to Instagram after Hulu announced season 2 and expressed her excitement for the upcoming season.
Martin and Short don’t have Instagram—as Gomez’s Gen Z-friendly character Mabel might say, they’re “olds”—but we can imagine they’re excited about the news as well.
Cara Delevingne, who starred in Paper Towns and Suicide Squad, has been cast as a season 2 regular, Variety reported on December 1, 2021. She will portray Alice, “a smart art world insider who becomes involved in the mystery.” Vanity Fair stated on May 5 that Alice will be a love interest for Gomez’s Mabel and that she “puts Mabel in touch with a side of herself she’s been rather neglecting since the show began.”
Their onscreen chemistry was boosted by Gomez and Delevingne’s lengthy relationship. Showrunner John Hoffman told Vanity Fair, “It was fantastic to have the two of them know each other and feel comfortable.” “It’s a bit sparky in all the right ways, like someone’s opening someone’s universe,” she says.
Alice’s style is “certainly more like myself than any other character I have ever played, although with some more daring styles, for sure,” Delevingne told ELLE.com.
Martin later stated in a tweet in February 2022 that Andrea Martin of My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Annie’s Zoe Colletti had joined the cast in two unexpected roles.
According to Vanity Fair, Amy Schumer portrays herself as a new Arconia inhabitant who is subletting Sting’s season 1 flat. According to VF, her “self-obsessed persona expresses interest in translating the Only Murders podcast for the screen—she wants to appear in a feminist antihero version told from Jan’s point of view,” but Charles, Oliver, and Mabel must first clear their names.
Shirley MacLaine joins the cast as Bunny’s bereaved mother, who becomes embroiled in the core mystery of season 2 and has an “interesting” character journey, according to Hoffman.
More of season one Arconia residents Uma (Jackie Hoffman) and cat-obsessed Howard will be seen (Michael Cyril Creighton). Bunny’s actress Jayne Houdyshell will also appear in flashbacks.
The first season ended on a startling cliffhanger, leaving plenty of room for debate about where season 2 will take us next. We know that Jan, Charles’ girlfriend, poisoned Charles after killing Tim Kono in a jealous rage. Thankfully, Charles roams around the building long enough to attract Mabel and Oliver’s attention, and the three work together to arrest Jan. However, they don’t have much time to celebrate as the Arconia’s fire alarm goes off, and Charles and Oliver rush down the stairs to find Mabel kneeling in front of a corpse in her flat.
