Here are all the cameos in Only Murders in the Building season 4

After three seasons, the star-studded leading trio of Only Murders in the Building don’t need any introduction – and neither do the residents of the Arconia who have frequented the show. However, the fourth instalment of the series features quite a few new characters and cameos you might not have expected.

Therefore, we decided to compile a list of all the celebrity guest appearances in season 4 – no matter how long or short they are. We will update it weekly.

If you want to find out when new episodes of the beloved Hulu whodunnit will be released, take a look at our Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode release schedule.

Here is our guide on who’s who in the show’s fourth instalment. Major spoilers below for the show up to season 4, episode 2.

Meryl Streep as Loretta Durkin

Loretta first appears in season 3 as a candidate for a role in Oliver’s stage play – the Broadway performance is her breakthrough. Loretta also becomes Oliver’s love interest. However, the future of their relationship is uncertain – as the actress gets a role in the Grey’s Anatomy spin-off and moves to LA. Loretta is also the real-life mother of Dickie, Ben Glenroy’s brother, whom she gave up for adoption shortly after his birth.

Three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep’s biggest hits include films like The Kramer vs. Kramer, The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Mamma Mia, The Devil Wears Prada, Out of Africa, Sophie’s Choice and The Hours.

Jane Lynch as Sazz Pataki

Charles’ body double was one of the most recognizable characters in the series. Unfortunately, Sazz met a tragic end in the season 3 finale.
