Only Murders in the Building has confirmed its release date for season three.

As reported by TV Line, the third season will kick off on August 8, reuniting fans with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as the detective trio, Charles-Haden Savage, Oliver Putnam and Mabel Mora.

This time round they'll also be joined by three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, Jesse Williams (Grey’s Anatomy), Ashley Park (Emily in Paris) and Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), who was introduced in the season-two finale.

In the final episode (which featured a one-year time jump), Rudd's character Ben Glenroy was murdered and his death is set to be the central mystery of season three.

It's also been confirmed that Michael Cyril Creighton's fan-favourite character Howard Morris has been bumped up to a series regular.

Given that Howard has now found himself in the thick of both Tim Kono and Bunny Folger's murder investigations, it'll be interesting to see how he ties into the next one.

Previously speaking about how Rudd was cast as the hit show's next victim, co-creator John Hoffman said: "Paul is a good friend of [Martin Short] and has been for a little while.

"He also had worked with Selena on a lovely film [for Netflix], The Fundamentals of Caring. And he has revered Steve Martin since he was a kid.

"He seemed like a logical person to go to with a ridiculous request, which was, 'Can you come be in the last five minutes of season two, potentially with an option to return [for] season three?'"

Only Murders in the Building seasons 1 and 2 are available now on Disney+ in the UK and Hulu in the US.
