Meryl Streep and Martin Short
Steve Granitz/FilmMagicOnly murders in the building throwback photos fell out Meryl Streep and Martin Short dressed in wedding clothes from the season 4 finale.
“#BehindTheScenes from the filming of the wedding scene at 410. New York, May 2024. 🩷,” wrote the official account of the Hulu series along with a carousel of images shared via instagram on Friday, December 20.
The first photo showed Streep, 75, and Short, 74, standing in front of a floral arch with white and pink roses outside the Arconia building’s iconic courtyard. Streep stunned in a floor-length, long-sleeved cream dress that featured floral embellishments. Short, for his part, looked dapper in a lavender suit paired with a cream vest, tie and matching scarf.
The couple stood very close, hugging each other as they smiled for the camera. The post also included snaps of more flower arrangements from the scene, the gigantic wedding cake, and the show’s beloved puppy, Winnie, who belongs to Short’s character.
Meryl Streep “had tears in her eyes” as she spoke to Only Murders in the Building co-creator John Hoffman about her on-screen romance with Martin Short. “It’s one of the most unexpected turns,” Hoffman told Decider about Streep’s character Loretta falling in love with Short’s character Oliver in an interview published Thursday, October 24. (…)
Many fans of the crime comedy flocked to the comments section joking that Streep and Short, who were rumored to be dating in real life, seemed like a complete couple.
“You could have told Meryl and Martin that they got married, I would have believed it,” one user responded while another responded: “Wdym behind the scenes I’m convinced this happened 🥹🤍✨.”
Short has played Oliver in Only murders in the buildingg next to Steve Martin (who plays Charles) and Selena Gomez (who plays Mabel) since the series premiered in 2021. Streep joined the cast in season 3 as Loretta, who is an actress and Oliver’s love interest. In season 4, Loretta and Oliver got engaged and their wedding took place at the end of the season.
While the couple’s nuptials were a success, Loretta and Oliver’s future is up in the air. In the end, Loretta shared that she has to leave for New Zealand days after the ceremony to film her show. Olivier insisted that they would make the distance work, as he will remain in Arconia alongside Charles and Mabel. The trio have another murder investigation on their hands as Arconia’s doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca) was found dead in the fountain after Oliver’s wedding.
Only Murders in the Building was renewed for season 5 shortly after the season 4 premiere. In short, Martín and Gomez are expected to return, but no additional casting announcements have been made yet.
