The cast of Only Murders In The Building now includes Paul Rudd. After appearing in the Season 2 finale of the show, I Know Who Did It as Broadway star Ben Glenroy, the actor will take the lead role in the third season. It is unknown if Rudd will act as a series regular, a recurring character, or a guest star.

In a statement to Variety, John Hoffman, a co-creator of the series, said that Paul Rudd, who appeared as Ben Glenroy at the end of Season 2, is someone they obviously want to learn more about and see in their upcoming Season 3 because he is a clear source of many upcoming questions and, as always with their series, many twists yet to come!

Only Murders in the Building centres on Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez), three unlikely friends who share a New York City apartment building and connect over their love of true crime after becoming embroiled in a real-life murder investigation and starting their podcast. They compete to identify the assassin of Arconia Board President Bunny Folger (Jayne Houdyshell) in Season 2. The trio is widely accused of killing Bunny; they are now the focus of a rival podcast, and they must cope with a group of New York neighbours who believe they are all murderers. These awful complications are the result. In July, Season 3 received the go-ahead.

The show was co-created by Martin and Hoffman. Along with Dan Fogelman, Jamie Babbit, Jess Rosenthal, and Short, Martin, Hoffman, and Gomez serve as executive producers.

Rudd and Selena Gomez worked together in the 2016 Netflix movie The Fundamentals of Caring so their new appearance in Only Murders in the Building brings them back together. Clueless, Wet Hot American Summer, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Marvel's Ant-Man are just a few of his well-known filmography credits.
