Every 'Only Murders in the Building'  Cast Member Returning For Season 5

Only Murders in the Building season 5 brings back one of my favorite trios in all of TV history: Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. But we're also getting some amazing brand new additions to the cast that I think are my favorite OMITB guest stars the show has ever had!! Let's just go ahead and get into it because I'm too excited to wait anymore.

Meet the brand new Only Murders in the Building season 5 cast members, airing now on Hulu.

Meryl Streep returns as Loretta in OMTIB season 5 and I'm so excited to see her reunite with Martin Short!

Renée Zellweger joins the Only Murders in the Building season 5 cast. We don't know much about her character but she does appear to be a quirky resident of the building.

7. Logan Lerman

I'm most excited to see Logan Lerman in these new episodes, and I'm hoping he becomes close with Mabel! He did tell Screen Rant he "popped in" to set, which could mean he ends up playing a more minor role — or that he doesn't make it out of the finale alive.

8. ​Christoph Waltz

9. ​Keegan-Michael Key
