The secret is out! The culprit in Only Murders in the Building season 2 has finally been revealed, and the killer themselves has spoken to RadioTimes.com<\/a> about how their identity was kept under wraps.<\/p>\n

In a twisty season finale, Cinda Canning\u2019s long-suffering intern Poppy (recently revealed to be missing woman Becky Butler) was outed as the mastermind behind the Arconia\u2019s latest tragedy.<\/p>\n

The development will come as quite a shock to viewers who have been presented with a number of red herrings<\/a> over the latest batch of episodes, including Tina Fey\u2019s Canning, Cara Delevingne\u2019s Alice and Michael Rapaport\u2019s Detective Kreps.<\/p>\n

Adina Verson, who plays Poppy\/Becky in Only Murders in the Building<\/a>, explains that a different performer donned the killer\u2019s disguise in certain scenes to prevent viewers from identifying her.<\/p>

\u201cIt was me in the passageways with the sneezing,\u201d she began, referring to a scene which helped the Only Murders trio build their case. \u201cI think they were hoping that I would do the other [killer encounters], but they could see my body shape a little too well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The creative team experimented with dressing Verson in clothes that would purposefully obscure her usual appearance, but alas, couldn\u2019t settle on a satisfactory solution and deemed the risk of a misjudgement too high.<\/p>\n

Verson continued: \u201cThey were like, \u2018Can you hunch a little bit so we can\u2019t see your boobs?\u2019 And then they had me go back to costumes and get these big Carhartt [workwear] pants to put on under the suit so that you couldn\u2019t really see the shape of my legs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then they did some movement coaching with me\u2026 and I think eventually they were like, \u2018Let\u2019s just get somebody else so we don\u2019t give it away.’\u201d<\/p>\n

For some time, only the writers and senior executives knew that Becky was the perpetrator, with the news slowly trickling down to the crew (on the day of filming the sneezing scene) and later the Only Murders in the Building cast<\/a>.<\/p>\n
