The Best Suspects In ‘Only Murders In The Building’
Co-created by Steve Martin, Hulu’s newest quirky drama “Only Murders in the Building” follows three unlikely friends and true-crime junkies as they band together to try to solve a murder in their own apartment complex, the Arconia (which is as much of a character in the series as anyone else).
Steven Martin plays Charles-Haden Savage, a reclusive TV actor still grasping at his ‘80s fame from a police procedural. The other half of Martin’s comedic duo, Martin Short, portrays Oliver Putnam, an aging (and very broke) theater producer whose financial issues have devastated pretty much all of his personal and professional relationships. The two are joined by an unexpected addition, Selena Gomez’s Mabel Mora, a mysterious young adult who can somehow afford to live in a luxury building and whose personal relationship to the deceased is something she’d rather keep secret.
