In a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter, I shared my feelings about being part of Only Murders in the Building. As a fortunate actress cast alongside screen legends Steve Martin and Martin Short, I couldn’t help but express my profound gratitude. These two talented gentlemen bring their iconic characters, Charles-Haden Savage and Oliver Putnam, to life in this series. Working with them has been an extraordinary experience for me, one that stands out from others because they are not just colleagues, they are longtime friends who delightfully banter and tease each other. What’s truly remarkable is the absence of any ego-driven competition among them.

As a devoted admirer, I’d be happy to share my favorite scene involving Steve Martin and Martin Short from our show. It’s the eighth episode of the third season, specifically the Sitzprobe scene, that truly stands out for me. This episode provided an excellent platform for Martin and I to delve deeper into physical comedy, a style I genuinely appreciate.

The actress talked about a scene where Martin’s character remains in the dressing room as her character, Donna, explores a homicide case involving a heavy blanket and earphones. She expressed it was “quite entertaining,” mentioning she appreciates instances when they can be “whimsical and jovial.”

As a connoisseur of captivating narratives, I’m thrilled to share that the intriguing saga of Only Murders in the Building is poised for its fourth spellbinding season! This much-awaited return will unfold on Hulu starting from August 27, 2024.
