Only Murders in the Building Season 3's cast features franchise newcomers and returning actors from previous seasons.
The hit Hulu series revolves around three strangers who love true crime podcasts that eventually team up to investigate a death in their apartment building.
While Only Murders in the Building showcased surprising guest stars, such as Sting and Amy Schumer in its first two seasons, Season 3 is expected to highlight more actors while keeping the spotlight on its star-studded cast.
