‘Only murders in the Building’ season 2: Introduction of the Cast

Selena Gomez’s sardonic wit and the comedic prowess of legends Steve Martin and Martin Short came to life in the first season of Only Murders in the Building. The supporting cast was equally as much of a welcome surprise as the trio, who created a dynamic that was both incredibly entertaining and endearing.

Introducing the New Tenants from the Cast of Only Murders in the Building Season 2

Here are some guest actors you can look forward to and some of the main characters you should be familiar with for season 2 that just debuted on Hulu.

Alice – Cara Delevingne 

Although not a tenant of the Arconia, Alice (Delevingne) spends a lot of time with Mabel, who is one of the building’s most important residents (Gomez).

Due to Mabel’s role in two murders and the group’s podcast, Alice, the curator of a small hipster art gallery, gains some notoriety and a social media following. Alice decides to extend an invitation to Mabel to join her community of artists after noticing the mural project Mabel spent the entire previous season working on.

Leonora Folger – Shirley MacLaine 

The fact that Only Murders in the Building appeals to people of all ages is one of its charms. A significant power-casting move would be to include Shirley MacLaine as yet another legend. Although she is only marginally older than Martin or Short, MacLaine will appeal to an older demographic. It can be challenging for actors to steal the show in a production like this, but MacLaine succeeds in doing just that. But in the first minute MacLaine’s Leonora is introduced, the scene becomes hers. Throughout the course of the show, Short is frequently the biggest personality in the room, or sometimes it’s the eccentricity of the side characters that steal the show.

Amy Schumer – Amy Schumer

Perhaps typecast, Schumer, much like Sting in the first season, plays an exaggerated, fictionalized version of herself. Schumer is now living in the penthouse of the Astoria. Where Sting used to reside, and while renovating, crosses paths with our three heroes.  In an exchange with Oliver in the elevator, the two begin to talk business. As Schumer (the fictional version) has a laser-like keen interest in getting the rights to their podcast. So she can serialize the property into a streaming television series. Schumer’s cameo appears to be much like Sting’s, merely a couple of quick appearances, but knowing that everyone in the Arconia is eventually a suspect for one reason or another, who knows what part she may play in the investigation.

Detective Kreps – Michael Rapaport 

A key part of season 1’s investigation was Detective Williams’ (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) love-hate relationship with Charles, Oliver, and Mabel. Last season’s cliffhanger was preceding by a mysterious text message. Warning the trio to get out of the building as fast as they could. Only for Oliver and Charles to stumble upon the bloody Mabel.  A big question this season is: Was it Williams who sent the text, and what part will she play in this new murder investigation?

Taking the lead on Bunny’s murder is Detective Kreps (Rapaport). He is a grizzled New Yorker. Whose accent and profanity is as authentic to the area as the actor who plays him.

Nina Lin – Christine Ko

With Bunny’s juggernaut-like presence suddenly snuffing out, a major role within the infrastructure of the Arconia is going. Someone needs to replace her as Tenant Board President. Also arguably has to be as strong and knowledgeable as Bunny, which is a hard act to follow. Enter Nina Lin (Ko), a young, extremely pregnant hedge-fund manager. Who has absorbed everything Bunny had to teach her about the inner workings of the historic Arconia. This possibly includes Bunny’s fiery disposition, as resident Arconian, cat-aficionado and Tenant Board member Howard (Michael Cyril Creighton) stipulates, “If you thought Bunny was a bitch… get a load of this one.”

Lucy – Zoe Colletti

One of the more notable early mysteries which shed a lot of light on the lonely and guarded Charles. This was the mention of a mysterious girl “Lucy.”

Since the very first episode, the mysterious “Lucy”, whenever her name was there, sparking a lot of painful memories and a sense of loss for Charles.  It was later revealing that Lucy was a surrogate daughter Charles. Who caring for when he dates her mother, Emma, years ago.  The breakup with Emma was painful, but not as painful as losing the little girl. Who was become so important to him.
