Steve Martin and Martin Short lead the cast as washed-up actor Charles Haden-Savage and theatre director Oliver Putnam, who start a true crime podcast with their neighbour, Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), when a resident of their apartment block is murdered.<\/p>\n
After a run of catastrophically bad luck, the trio end season 2 on a high note when they unmask a killer who has been stalking New York City\u2019s Arconia building, clearing their own names in the process.<\/p>\n
However, the finale ends on a whopper of a cliffhanger when another death derails their future plans \u2013 and this time, at least one of them will have an even harder time proving their innocence. Read on for spoiler-filled\u00a0<\/strong>details.<\/p> The last scene in Only Murders in the Building<\/a> season 2 sees Oliver Putnam make his triumphant return to Broadway, with a big new production featuring a high-profile star (portrayed by Rudd).<\/p>\n We see Oliver settle some opening night jitters, caused partly by friction between Rudd\u2019s character and his co-star Charles-Haden-Savage (Martin), before excitedly taking to his seat to watch the fruits of his labour.<\/p>\n Alas, it would be a cursed night at the theatre, as moments after stepping on stage Rudd starts foaming at the mouth \u2013 a telltale sign of a poisoning \u2013 before dropping down dead in front of a horrified audience.<\/p>\n This tragic development places hapless Charles in a rather suspicious light, as just prior to the curtain being raised, he had issued a stern warning to his co-star to \u201cstay away from her\u201d.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear exactly who he\u2019s referring to in this moment, with possibilities including treasured friend Mabel or recently reconnected adoptive daughter Lucy, but could his protectiveness drive him to murder?<\/p>\n Most likely not, but he can expect another grilling from the cops when this rivalry is inevitably unearthed.<\/p>\n With his packed schedule, which includes Marvel\u2019s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania<\/a>, it seems improbable that Rudd will be a series regular in a potential Only Murders in the Building season 3, but he could reappear in select flashbacks shedding light on his character\u2019s untimely demise.<\/p>\n If nothing else, the cameo appearance will be a treat for fans of Marvel and US comedy, with Rudd being one of the biggest names in both.<\/p>\n Only Murders in the Building is available to stream on Disney Plus.
