Only Murders in the Building is one of today’s most wonderful television shows. It is brilliant, hilarious, and suspenseful, a thrilling comedy-mystery that brings together three strangers who live in the same Upper West Side building and all love true crime and the same thrilling murder podcast.
Steve Martin (Charles), Martin Short (Oliver), and Selena Gomez (Mabel) are the iconic trio we never saw coming. A combination of Gomez’s sass and wit, Martin’s awkwardness and wisdom, and Short’s unbeatable humor make this show so charming. Even if you don’t care about murder, the series is worth it for these three.
The trio started their own murder podcast after such a crime in their building … and that was just the beginning. The three of them investigate murders together and have been shockingly successful over two, now just starting three seasons. What makes the show so spectacular is not only the trio, but the characters surrounding them. The series has had various guest stars who have had an incredible impact on the show. Whether a villain, fan, detective or just another resident in the building, they impact the show tremendously.
In honor of the third season just beginning, below is a ranking of the characters of series’ guest stars through the first two.
