Meryl Streep Returning for Season 5 of Only Murders in the Building

Meryl Streep will return to the Arconia once again. The actress has confirmed her appearance in Season 5 of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, which completed its fourth season last fall.

Streep confirmed the news in a new social video alongside Only Murders cast member Selena Gomez. “So you’re coming back for Season 5,” Gomez says to Streep, with Streep then responding, “Well, I think that depends on…” Gomez promptly cuts her off and reveals that her remark “wasn’t a question,” confirming that Streep will reprise her role as Loretta Durkin for the murder mystery show’s upcoming fifth season.

Revisit our review of Season 4, which we felt was fun, but a little bit bland.
