Spoilers ahead for the Only Murders in the Building Season 2 premiere. Another day, another murder in the building. Season 2 of Hulu’s hit murder-mystery comedy returns with a new case — one that implicates the show’s true-crime podcasting trio. When the Arconia Board President, Bunny Folger, is found dead, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) must solve the case before they pay the price for a murder they (likely?) did not commit. They take the opportunity to record Season 2 of their podcast to knock down their rivals and clear their names once and for all. But two-episode season premiere unveils, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel realize that solving this case may be more complicated (and personal) than they ever expected.
Season 2 raises a lot of questions, as viewers might expect for a quirky whodunit. But few questions are as important as who actually did it. With new episodes releasing weekly, we won’t know who the murderer is for sure until the finale airs in few weeks. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t suspects already afoot in these early Season 2 episodes. The premiere introduces four (suspicious) new characters who arguably could be Bunny Folger’s real murderer.
Alice
Cara Delevingne joins Season 2 as Alice, an eccentric artist and curator who takes a professional and romantic interest in Mabel. Granted, there are already some pretty glaring red flags, the first of which being Alice’s incapability to clarify whether or not her art collective is a cult. Then there’s also the fact that the investigation heavily revolves around a painting from the late artist Rose Cooper that Bunny owned. Given Alice’s profession, it makes more than a little sense that she could be hellbent on getting her hands on the art piece, even if it meant getting her hands on someone else.
Amy Schumer
Meet Amy Schumer as Amy Schumer. That’s right, the comedian plays herself as a new resident of the Arconia. She barrels into the season wanting to nab the streaming rights to the “Only Murders” podcast from Oliver. She explains that the podcast awakened her love for murder — er, murder mystery. Chalking that comment up as a slip of the tongue, Schumer also reveals that she’s set to play Jan (Amy Ryan) in an adaptation of the podcast. Could she be taking method acting a little too far? Audiences will remember Sting’s appearance in Season 1 as one of the murder suspects, but who knows if Schumer is just another celebrity red herring?
Nina Lin
Through two episodes, there’s not much knowledge nor dirt on Nina (Christina Ko). However, she’s definitely worth mentioning given how swiftly she succeeded Bunny as the president of Arconia’s board. Uma (Jackie Hoffman) did warn Mabel, Charles, and Oliver that Nina is far meaner than Bunny ever was. And it’s enough to make a sleuth wonder how sinister she could really be —perhaps enough to commit murder?
Leonora Folger
We meet Leonora (Shirley MacLaine) in Episode 2 of the second season. She arrives as Bunny’s mother and is insistent that Bunny’s painting actually belongs to her. She’s also adamant that she’s the only person who knows the painting’s backstory, which includes Charles’ father as well as a love triangle that includes herself, Charles’ father, and the painting’s artist Rose Cooper. Her motive may be as simple as just wanting to get the painting back by any means necessary, and she’s already been shifty around Charles, telling him, “I’m not good at this hour,” during some light questioning.
Leonora, like the other new suspects on this list, all have motive, but was it enough to want to take down the Arconia’s board president? Only time will tell who was really behind this latest murder in the building.
