Coming back to the series, “Only Murder in the Building” centers on a group that includes Charles Haden Savage (Martin), Oliver Putnam (Short), and Mable Mora (Gomez), all of whom have a passion for real crime and podcasts. The three successfully identified Bunny Folger’s murderer as they effectively concluded Season 2 on a strong note. At the climactic moments of the season finale, the viewers saw Oliver making a comeback to Broadway in a production starring prominent actor Ben Glenroy. This set up the mystery for the upcoming season (Rudd).
The tension between Glenroy and his co-star Charles is evident, and when Glenroy enters the stage, he starts bleeding from the mouth and exhibiting other symptoms of poisoning before passing away in front of the crowd.
