Only Murders in the Building dropped throwback pics of Meryl Streep and Martin Short decked out in wedding gear from the season 4 finale.
“#BehindTheScenes of filming the wedding scene in 410. New York City, May 2024. 🩷,” the official account of the Hulu series wrote alongside a carousel of images shared via Instagram on Friday, December 20.
The first pic featured Streep, 75, and Short, 74, standing in front of a floral arch with white and pink roses outside the iconic Arconia building’s courtyard. Streep stunned in a cream long-sleeved floor-length gown that featured floral embellishments. Short, for his part, looked dashing in a lavender suit paired with a cream vest, matching tie and scarf.
The pair stood close together with their arms wrapped around each other as they smiled for the camera. The post also featured snaps of more of the floral arrangements from the scene, the gigantic wedding cake and the series’ beloved pup Winnie — who belongs to Short’s character.
Meryl Streep “had tears in her eyes” while talking with Only Murders in the Building cocreator John Hoffman about her onscreen romance with Martin Short. “It is one of the most unexpected turns,” Hoffman told Decider of Streep’s character, Loretta, falling in love with Short’s character, Oliver, in an interview published on Thursday, October 24. […]
Many fans of the crime comedy flocked to the comments section joking that Streep and Short, who have been rumored to be dating in real life, looked like a full-on couple.
“U could have [told] Meryl and Martin married, I would have believed,” one user replied while another responded, “Wdym behind the scenes I’m convinced this happened 🥹🤍✨.”
Short has starred as Oliver in Only Murders in the Building alongside Steve Martin (who plays Charles) and Selena Gomez (who plays Mabel) since the series premiere 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 in the season finale.
While the pair’s nuptials were a success, Loretta and Oliver’s future is up in the air. In the finale, 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 at the Arconia alongside Charles and Mabel. The trio have another murder investigation on their hands as the Arconia’s doorman Lester (Teddy Coluca) was found dead in the fountain following Oliver’s wedding.
Only Murders in the Building was renewed for season 5 shortly after the season 4 premiere. Short, Martin and Gomez are expected to return, but no additional casting announcements have been made yet.
