'Only Murders in the Building' Adds 7 Guest Stars to Its Cast for Season 6
Our favorite trio of sleuths will have some famous faces joining their latest adventure across the pond. Hulu hit comedy Only Murders in the Building has announced its first wave of guest stars for its highly anticipated sixth season, which is currently filming in London.
Per Deadline, Jennifer Saunders, Simone Ashley, Sean Teale, Amar Chadha-Patel, Rhea Norwood, Matthew Beard, and Sharon Horgan are boarding the series as recurring guest stars. As of writing, their roles are being kept under wraps, as are the plot details.
If you recall, Only Murders in the Building Season 5 concluded with Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) unmasking Arconia doorman Lester's (Teddy Coluca) killer, Mayor Beau Tillman (Keegan-Michael Key). Then, our intrepid crew stumbled upon the next murder victim: Cinda Canning (Tina Fey). Cinda died right outside the Arconia gates, making it technically another "murder in the building."
The gang decided to head to London to search for clues linked to her killing after her newest podcast, The Girl With the Curls, delved into a redheaded woman accused of murdering a royal descendant.
In addition to Martin, Short, and Gomez, Season 6 will see the return of series regular Michael Cyril Creighton as Howard. Da'Vine Joy Randolph will also return as Detective Williams, per a set photo from the show's official Instagram account. It's unclear whether Meryl Streep will reprise her role as Loretta Durkin, Oliver's wife, but we'll most likely see her in some capacity.
Saunders is most known for starring in the cult classic comedy Absolutely Fabulous as Edina. Ashley currently stars as Viscountess Kate Bridgerton in the Netflix hit Bridgerton, while Teale recently starred in the two-season ABC drama Doctor Odyssey as Tristan Silva. Chadha-Patel starred in the Disney+ fantasy epic Willow as Thraxus Boorman, and will appear next in the Alan Ritchson-led action thriller Motor City as Singh.
Norwood starred in Netflix's Heartstopper as Imogen Heaney; Beard recently starred in 2025's The Testament of Ann Lee as James Whittaker, and Horgan is most known for creating and starring in Apple TV's dark comedy Bad Sisters as Eva Garvey.
