As we approach the release of Season 4, take a look at all of the Hollywood favorites who have made a cameo in the hit mystery-comedy series, and who's to come.

With numerous<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/2022-emmy-nominations-television-entertainment"> Emmy nominations</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/everything-we-know-about-conversations-with-friends-tv-show-hulu-sally-rooney-cast-details-trailer-spoilers">Hulu&rsquo;s</a> Only Murders in the Building is boisterous, unpredictable, and incredibly funny. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/selena-gomez-blonde-hair-color-instagram">Selena Gomez</a> star as three strangers living in the same building in Manhattan who share an obsession with true-crime podcasts. The murder of a neighbor prompts them to start their own <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrity-podcasts-spotify-apple-podcasts">podcast</a>, and soon enough their lives take multiple twists and turns as they become immersed in the investigation itself. All three actors are dynamically humorous yet also possess individually distinct storytelling abilities, making the work they create together very entertaining.
However, other than the three lead protagonists, the series is also acclaimed for its star-studded casting of recurring characters and guest stars. In the first three seasons, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrities-with-famous-dads">A-List Hollywood stars</a> including Tina Fey, Jane Lynch, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/paul-rudd-young-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paul Rudd</a>, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/meryl-streep-young-rare-photos-movies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meryl Streep</a> were cast, some playing a character and others as themselves.&nbsp;As Season 4 approaches, new cast members&mdash;played by Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, and Molly Shannon&mdash;are joining the protagonists as they investigate the case.&nbsp; 
Surprisingly, this season the cast will not be returning directly to the Big Apple. The beginning of Season 4&nbsp;is currently being filmed in Los Angeles, where Gomez shared a post to Instagram showing a card from her co-stars&mdash;"We&rsquo;re so happy to be back with you, love, Steve and Marty", it read.&nbsp;
While Season 4 currently doesn't have an exact release date, we're hoping it'll be available to stream this summer on Hulu&mdash;considering other seasons were released around the same time. With much excitement surrounding what's to come from the multi award-winning show, L'OFFICIEL rounds up all the celebrity guest appearances in&nbsp;Only Murders in the Building.

Jesse Williams.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/what-to-know-about-2021-tony-awards-broadway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tony Award nominee</a> Jesse Williams, who is best known for his role as Dr. Jackson Avery on Grey&rsquo;s Anatomy, joined the cast of Only Murders in the Building for Season 3. He played a documentarian who developed a relationship with Mabel (Gomez).

British model and actress <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/cara-delevingne-intimate-nft-charity-video">Cara Delevinge,</a> who is famously known for her modeling career as well as roles in Paper Towns and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/margot-robbie-confirms-harley-quinn-movie">Suicide Squad</a>, frequently stars alongside Gomez in Only Murders in the Building. Initially a fan of Mabel's artwork, the two eventually form a romantic bond in Season 2.

Appearing solely in Season 2, Rapaport plays a detective who investigates the murder. Rapaport began his career as an actor and comedian in the early 1990s and has since made over 100 appearances in film and television. His many film roles include&nbsp;True Romance (1993),&nbsp;Cop Land (1997),&nbsp;Big Fan (2009), and The Heat (2013).

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/actors-who-have-never-won-an-oscar-surprising-nomination-snubs-wins-celebrities-films">Amy Schumer</a> plays...Amy Schumer. Beginning her career as a stand-up comedian and then launching her own sketch show Inside Amy Schumer and now Hulu series Life of Beth, Schumer simply appears as herself, a comedian based in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/history-gay-nightlife-nyc-clubs-drag-ball">New York City</a>.

Shirley Maclaine, who boasts numerous accolades over her seven-decade career, including six Academy Award nominations, enters the series in Season 2. Her credits are truly endless, notably including Around the World in 80 Days, The Children's Hour, and The Evening Star. Her appearance in the show marks&nbsp;Maclaine's return to television in over a decade.

Best known for her work on <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kim-kardashian-host-snl-highlights-funniest-moments">Saturday Night Live</a>,&nbsp;Fey is an extremely impressive, successful writer and performer. She created the US sitcom 30 Rock, which ran for seven seasons in total, and also wrote film projects including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/lindsay-lohan-young-fashion-moments-movies">Mean Girls</a> (2004), Baby Mama (2008), Date Night (2010), Megamind (2010), Muppets Most Wanted (2014), Sisters (2015), Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016), Wine Country (2019), and Soul (2020). In Only Murders in the Building, Fey portrays Cindy Canning, the biggest name in true crime podcasts.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph portrays Detective Williams, a detective for the NYPD, who is repeatedly seen in scenes with the trio, warning them not to interfere with the investigation. Randolph has television credits on This Is Us and Empire as well as&nbsp;key roles in recent features such as Dolemite is My Name, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/andra-day-united-states-vs-billie-holiday-actress-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The United States vs Billie Holiday</a>, and The Lost City.

Jackie Hoffman, an actress, singer, and comedian known for her one-woman shows of Jewish-themed original songs and monologues, is also superbly funny in this series. She portrays Uma Heller, another resident in the apartment building, who suspects the trio (Gomez, Martin, and Short) to be responsible for the murder.

Gaining popularity from his role in the successful miniseries The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, portraying the defense attorney, Nathan Lane stars as Teddy Dimas, a friend of Oliver's (Short) in Only Murders in the Building.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/see-all-the-2022-oscar-nominations-academy-awards">Academy Award </a>nominee and two-time <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/what-to-know-about-2021-tony-awards-broadway">Tony Award nominee</a> Amy Ryan appears in both Season 1 and Season 2 of the series. Ryan, perhaps better known for working alongside Steve Carrell in The Office, is certainly not new to comedy. In the series' first season, she portrays Martin's love-interest-turned-suspect, which added plenty of suspense and comedy for viewers.&nbsp;

Just as in real-life, Sting is a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/5-famous-lgbtq-music-artists-elton-john-freddie-mercury">musician</a>. He is known for being a member of the rock band The Police, releasing iconic songs including Let it Be, as well as&nbsp;having a successful solo career. This isn't Sting's first acting gig playing himself as he also starred in The Vicar of Dibley, Zoolander 2, and Ally McBeal.&nbsp;

Winning the 2019 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her performance in Oklahoma! is actress, author, and singer Ali Stroker. In Only Murders of the Building, Stroker plays Paulette, a proudly devoted fan of the trio's podcast.

Your favorite Glee character, Sue Sylvester, even makes her cameo in this series. Lynch appears as Charles&rsquo; (Martin) stunt double in matching shirts, suit jackets, and a pork pie hat. As an Emmy award-winning actress, she truly brings comedic gold in her own distinct ways to every series she stars in. &nbsp;

Best known for her leading roles on <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/ashley-park-emily-in-paris-season-2-mindy-movies-tv">Broadway</a>, which include originating the role of Nina Rosario in&nbsp;the musical In the Heights as well as Elphaba in Wicked, Mandy Gonzalez plays Mabel's mother. Whilst Gonzalez was not cast as a major character, the relationship between her and Gomez is portrayed with bountiful meaning and concern, making their scenes extremely moving.&nbsp;

Paul Rudd in "Clueless" (1995)

Ant-Man and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/clueless-outfits-iconic-fashion-moments-movie-anniversary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clueless</a> star <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/paul-rudd-young-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paul Rudd</a> makes a special appearance in the finale of Season 2, then throughout the next season as the murder victim. But unlike previous seasons, he's actually not&nbsp;murdered in the building. If you haven't watched Season 3 yet, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions with this cast&mdash;and, of course, prepare for what Season 4 has to bring.

Known as the best actress of her generation and holder of an extensive list of awards, Meryl Streep joined the show for season 3 as Loretta Durkin, a quirky actor that stars in Oliver's play. Her character brings much suspense to the season's plot, not to mention her most iconic roles in films like Little Women,&nbsp;Mamma Mia,&nbsp;and of course The Devil Wears Prada.&nbsp;

Recognize this face? Matthew Broderick, star of the iconic 80s film Ferris Bueller's Day Off,&nbsp;made a special appearance in the show's most recent season. Similar to Amy Schumer and Sting, he plays himself, and is ready to replace Charles in Oliver's play by showing everyone his amazing acting skills.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In season 3, Emily in Paris star and musician Ashley Park joins the cast as Kimber, a young actor in Oliver's play alongside Streep's character. Park is also known for her most recent role in film&nbsp;Joy Ride, a classic girl's trip comedy.

Actress Andrea Martin appeared during two seasons as Joy Payne&mdash;a recurring hair and makeup artist who dates Charles and is suspected of being involved in one of the murders. In February, she received a lifetime achievement award at the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards alongside one of the show's protagonists Martin Short.
