Meryl Streep joins the Only Murders in the Building cast for season 3 and fans are *excited*
This is not a drill
If you haven't watched Only Murders in the Building yet, we have one question - why?! The show, which stars Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short, has gripped fans since the release of season one in the summer of 2021.
It sees the neighbours of an Upper West Side apartment building become friends and bonding over their love of true crime - only to find themselves in the midst of a real life murder mystery. The two seasons have seen a bunch of famous faces joining the cast, including Paul Rudd, Julian Cihi, Jayne Houdyshell and Tina Fey.
However, it's Selena's recent announcement of a brand new member of the crew that has fans very, very excited.
The one and only Meryl Streep will be joining the show for season three, and all we have to say is: bravo.
Selena shared the excellent news on Instagram, with a video of her and her co-stars sat together - when Meryl suddenly pops up from behind a couch to confirm her place in the Only Murders in the Building sphere.

In the clip, Selena starts by saying: "Hey guys, we're on set!"
She then pans to her co-stars before Meryl makes a surprise appearance. Brilliant.
