'Only Murders in the Building' Remains the King of the Celebrity Cameo
OK, I’ll say it: Only Murders in the Building is Hulu’s best show. The whodunnit series—which follows a trio a true-crime lovers who start their own podcast—has a witty plot, mysterious twists, and a cozy, fall-season aesthetic that will leave you glued to the couch for hours. What else could you want?
If you were thinking celebrity cameos, they have that, too. Since its premiere in 2021, Only Murders in the Building has made it a tradition, of sorts, to feature as many Hollywood stars as possible. The amount of jaw-dropping appearances will turn you into an at-home detective as you try to decipher each their roles in the mystery.
Season Three of the series, which debuted its first two episodes this Tuesday, brings a new round of guest stars, featuring the likes of Meryl Streep, Matthew Broderick, Paul Rudd, Ashley Park, and more. Keep reading for a breakdown of every guest star who makes an appearance in Season Three of Only Murders in the Building.
Meryl Streep: Loretta Durkin
Meryl Streep plays Loretta, a not-so-great actress who lands a leading role in Oliver’s play. Somehow, she nailed her audition—but when rehearsals start, it’s clear Loretta isn’t as skilled as she seems. Aside from her struggles to keep up up with her castmates, she also has a brewing feud with Ben Gilroy.
Paul Rudd: Ben Gilroy
Paul Rudd is the star of the show this season. The Ant-Man star portrays Ben Gilroy, an egotistical actor who planned to make his Broadway debut in Oliver's play. Ben is murdered before opening night—and his death sets the stakes for Season Three of Only Murders in the Building.
Ashley Park: Kimber
Ashley Park appears as Kimber, a TikTok influencer who lands a role in Oliver's show. Her character brings loads of comedic relief to this season, especially when Mable tries to connect with her. But is Kimber as innocent as she seems? Maybe not.
Jesse Williams: Tobert

In Only Murders in the Building, Jesse Williams trades his Grey's Anatomy lab coat for a camera. This season, he plays Tobert, a documentarian who takes a special interest in Ben’s death. While working on his film, he cozies up to Mabel, who is investigating the murder for her podcast.
Matthew Broderick:... Matthew Broderick?
Mathew Broderick’s exact role in the series is under wraps, but he appears to be playing himself. Movieweb reports that Broderick arrives toward the end of Season Three as an “exaggerated version of his theatrical self.” Maybe he’s one of Ben’s famous friends?
Tina Fey: Cinda Canning
This season, Tina Fey will reprise her role as Cinda Canning. Cinda is the tyrannical host of the true-crime podcast, “All is Not OK in Oklahoma.” Despite her show’s massive success, she’s in a pseudo-competition with Mable, Charles, and Oliver for podcast listens.
Jane Lynch: Sazz Pataki
This season, Jane Lynch will return as a Sazz Pataki. Sazz used to be Charles' stunt double when he starred on Brazzos. They have a complex relationship due to a cheating scandal, but Sazz still visits Charles every year for the Stuntman Awards. Perhaps this year, her appearance will be connected to Ben’s mysterious death.
