Renowned actors Meryl Streep and Martin Short were recently spotted showcasing some sweet PDA while filming for the hit Hulu series ‘Only Murders in the Building’. The on-screen couple, who play newlyweds on the show, were seen on the streets of New York City on Wednesday, May 7. Short, 75, was in character as Oliver Putnam, carrying a banana, running alongside his on-screen wife Loretta Durkin, portrayed by Streep. The pair were snapped cuddling and even sharing a kiss, adding to the intrigue of the upcoming season.

The plot details of the new season remain a mystery, but it seems like Loretta might be teaming up with Oliver, Mabel Mora (played by Selena Gomez), and Charles-Haden Savage (portrayed by Steve Martin) to unravel the latest murder in New York City. Executive producer Dan Fogelman hinted at another exciting mystery in a conversation with The Wrap earlier this year. Fogelman expressed his excitement about exploring new aspects of the characters’ friendships and lives in the upcoming season.

In a surprising turn of events, Renée Zellweger is set to join the cast, as announced by the show’s official social media accounts in March. Additionally, actors like Logan Lerman, Jermaine Fowler, Christoph Waltz, Keegan-Michael Key, and Beanie Feldstein have also been confirmed to be part of the star-studded line-up for the upcoming season. With such a talented ensemble, fans can expect some captivating performances and intriguing storylines in the upcoming season of ‘Only Murders in the Building’.

Since Meryl Streep joined the series in season 3, speculations about the nature of her and Martin Short’s relationship both on and off-screen have been rife. However, Short’s representatives clarified in January 2024 that the two are simply good friends. Short further explained in May 2024 that Streep’s casting as his character’s love interest was purely coincidental. Despite this, the chemistry between the actors, as highlighted by executive producer and writer John Hoffman, has been described as ‘unbelievable’. Both Streep and Short have reportedly enjoyed working together both on and off the screen.

Fans of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ can catch up on the first four seasons of the show, available for streaming on Hulu. The upcoming season promises to deliver more suspense, laughter, and engaging storytelling, with the addition of new cast members and intriguing plot developments.
