Of course, since this is 2021, a true-crime podcast is also involved. The three main characters not only first get to know each other through their mutual audio obsession; they even wind up making their own podcast about the killing that was committed inside their Upper West Side co-op. And since this is the Steve Martin, who’s long been a multi-talented star, he also co-created the series and co-wrote the premiere episode. (Short and Gomez, no slouches in their own right, also serve as co-executive producers.) “I came to create the idea [and] I wrote the first three or four pages to [get] it off on the right foot,” Martin told EntertainmentWeekly about how OnlyMurders came to be, adding that the story was originally about a trio of old dudes who’d be “too old to want to leave the building, so they limit it to [investigating] murders that happened in the building.” With a setup like that, who wouldn’t want to know how it all works out in the end?

What is Only Murders in the Building about?
In Only Murders In the Building, Mabel (Gomez), Charles (Martin) and Oliver (Short) live in a large, crowded apartment building on New York City’s Upper West Side called the Arconia. (For what it’s worth, there’s an actual apartment building on the Upper West Side called the Ansonia that probably serves as inspiration, although Only Murders was reportedly filmed in another nearby UWS building called the Apthorp.) The three of them are complete strangers until a murder in their building brings out their mutual love of true crime. They team up to try to solve the case, with Oliver and Charles even attempting to produce a true-crime podcast about the slaying. As you can expect, hijinks ensue. Short gave more details in an interview with The Daily Beast, explaining how the show got its title. “It’s about three people who live in one of those upscale apartment buildings in New York. They see each on the elevator, they kind of nod, but they never really speak. They don’t even know each other’s names,” he said. “And then you find out that each one of them goes to their individual apartments and just turns on true crime and obsesses. And then one time they’re in the elevator with this fourth person. And they find out that fourth person is killed and they’re determined to solve it. But they make a pact: only murders in the building will they solve. Because they can’t be bothered to go outside.” Relatable!

What is Only Murders in the Building rated?
Because it is exclusively on streaming, there is no official rating for Only Murders in the Building. However, due to language (one clip online has an f-bomb) and the subject matter (true crime, which obviously can be violent), it’s safe to say this isn’t entirely kid-friendly.
Who is in the Only Murders in the Building cast?
Even beyond the show’s top-line trio, the cast of Only Murders In the Building is seriously star-studded! Gomez stars as artist Mabel Mora, Martin stars as a former TV actor named Charles and Short plays off-Broadway producer Oliver. The trio have little in common other than living in the same apartment building and being obsessed with true crime. Get to know a bit about Charles below: Mabel, meanwhile, being a woman in New York City, is always on alert: Oliver is a bit obnoxious but quite fashionable: Amy Ryanof The Officefame plays Jan (we see what they did there!) and Nathan Laneis grocery store chain owner Teddy, though further details of their roles have been kept under wraps. We do know, however, that Jan (probably) plays the bassoon. The Tony-nominated Da’Vine Joy Randolphis the no-nonsense Detective Williams. Jane Lynch also appears, it seems, as Martin shared a snapshot of himself #twinning with her on set. Another potential castmate? TinaFey, who was spotted close to set during filming. We know for sure that singer Stingalso has a recurring role, playing himself. Other cast and characters include:
Aaron Dominguez as Oscar, a love interest for Gomez’s Mabel.Vanessa Aspillaga as Ursula.Olivia Reis as Zoe Cassidy.Esteban Benito as Tavo Mora (likely a relative of Mabel).Russel G. Jones as Dr. Grover Stanley.Dana Kreitz as Manda.Anthony Ruiz as Jose Torres.Adina Verson as Poppy White.Ryan Broussard as Will.Michael Cyril Creighton plays Howard Morris, who we can see crying in the trailer.Jeena Yi as Amy Huang.

Is there an Only Murders In the Building book?
So far, no—the story is an original idea that was conceived by Martin. “I actually listen to and watch a lot of true crime. It’s too long a story to tell, but somebody suggested I write something for three older actors, and I had this idea, but I never followed up on it,” he told InStyle. “And then I realized, 10 years later, that I’m older. I could play it. And so that’s kind of how it came about. And then I pitched it to Dan Fogelman and his company. And they were in immediately. I didn’t even realize it was a good idea until I said it out loud to somebody.”
is Selena Gomez dating Aaron Dominguez?
Early on in filming Only Murders In the Building, Gomez was photographed with co-star Dominguez, who plays her love interest, Oscar, in the series—and the internet, which is famously obsessed with her love life, went nuts. Of course, it wasn’t what it seemed. She explained to The Los Angeles Times, “We had just started working together. I honestly thought, ‘No wonder guys don’t want to date me!’” I think people only care because I’m young, and the older I get the less they’ll care. For now, it’s a part of the job that I don’t really like. I’m actually grateful that I’m not involved with anyone right now.”
Steve Martin loved working with Selena Gomez
Martin gushed about Gomez to Vogue, admitting he couldn’t believe his luck at being able to cast her for Mabel. “You get a list of names, you know, you’re thinking, ‘Sure, they’d be good, they’d be good,’ and then they say, ‘What about Selena Gomez?’” he recalled. “And it’s just—yes, of course. There was no question except ‘Can we get her?’ We knew she would enhance the show in so many ways, the number one being talent. Her performance is rich and adult. She’s learned to underplay when necessary. Marty and I are pretty manic, and she’s this solid, solid rock foundation. She’s nicely, intensely low-key.” Martin also called Gomez “incredible” in a silly and sweet tweet from their first day on set. Gomez is equally admiring of Martin and Short and said she was excited to play a grownup, though working with the film and TV veterans made her feel younger than she is. “The level of the sophistication of the material is the reason why I wanted to do this, but I don’t know — I was just a kid and I didn’t know what I was doing. I was just running around the set,” she told reporters, acknowledging it was her first scripted television role since Disney’s The Wizards of Waverly Place. Now, I’m just like a sponge and I soak up all the wisdom that I can. And it’s just really nice to be back on TV and it’s nice to be cast as someone my own age which never happens. I’m just very happy to be doing this.” “How they lead a set is so commendable. They are so humble and they are kind, and they are there till the very end,” she added of Short and Martin. “They’ve set such an example for me. They’ve been doing this longer than I’ve been alive. I would be so lucky to have a career that lasted that long. And I think overall I just love the way they talk to people. I love the way that they just come to set and make everybody feel good and that makes me want to be that and do that more. Plus, I’m just so lucky. I just sit down and laugh all day.” Next, want to get into another mystery? Check out everything to know about Season 2 of The White Lotus.
