"Only Murders in the Building" Season 3 Could Feature a Musical Episode

The upcoming third season of the hit Hulu series Only Murders in the Building could include something new for the series: a musical episode!

What’s Happening:

Sources at Variety recently got a tease that a musical episode may be in the cards for the new season of Only Murders in the Building.
This information came from the musical team of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who said:
- “We’ve worked on the next season of Only Murders in the Building. We’re not allowed to say anything more than that, but you could probably do that math.”
The duo’s latest Broadway extravaganza is the new musical adaptation of Some Like It Hot.
In the world of Disney, Shaiman provided the music for Mary Poppins Returns and 1997’s George of the Jungle, starring Brendan Fraiser.
Witman wrote the lyrics for nine of the songs on the Mary Poppins Return soundtrack. Together, they contributed the popular song “Save The City'' from the faux-musical, Rogers: The Musical, for Disney+’s Hawkeye.
The third season of Only Murders in the Building premieres August 8th on Hulu.
