Beanie Feldstein Cast in Season of Only Murders in the Building

Only Murders in the Building is bringing even more Broadway talent to its upcoming fifth season, with Beanie Feldstein, known for her roles in Hello, Dolly! and Funny Girl, joining the cast in a mysterious role. The season will focus on the investigation into the murder of the doorman Lester, a storyline that kept viewers on the edge of their seats at the end of the last season.

Beanie Feldstein is just the latest stage star to jump on board the New York City-based series, which has already featured performances from the likes of Martin Short, Steve Martin, Jackie Hoffman, Paul Rudd, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Jayne Houdyshell, Jane Lynch (Feldstein’s former Funny Girl co-star), and Tina Fey, among others. The upcoming season is set to include appearances from Jermaine Fowler, Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, and Logan Lerman.

Since its launch in 2021, Only Murders in the Building has become a hit with viewers, winning critical acclaim and several awards, including a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for a song written for a fictional Broadway musical featured in the show. The series’ creators, Martin and John Hoffman, along with executive producers Martin Short, Selena Gomez, Dan Fogelman, and Jess Rosenthal, have a winning formula on their hands. According to Variety, the show is Hulu’s most-watched original comedy series to date.
