Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” is currently filming season 5. Among the new recurring stars added to the series are Renee Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Keegan-Michael Key and Téa Leoni. But can we also expect more Meryl? There hasn’t been an official announcement, no set-picutres – and quite a closed story line. After leaving season 3 for Hollywood, Streep’s supporting role of Loretta Durkin was reduced to a guest starring appearance in season 4, at which end her character zips off to New Zealand the morning after the wedding because her Grey’s Anatomy spin-off has relocated there. It felt like the writers thought they’re good for now, but there’s a chance to bring her back. On Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, newly-minted Academy Award winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who plays Detective Donna Williams on the show, promoted her new film and was asked about working with Meryl Streep. When asked by Kimmel if it was “everything she hoped it would be?”. Randolph replies: “Not yet. However, and I say that because I’m greedy, I want more. So if you go back to season 3, I lock her up. So I just put handcuffs on her. But, John Hoffman, the showrunner, told me that he’s gonna make it up to me this season, so yeah.” So, is this confirmation of a return to the series? It’s quite vage and could also mean a bigger arch for Detective Donna Williams – or in fact, more Meryl in season 5. You can watch the conversation (starting at 1:35 minutes) on Jimmy Kimmel Live’s Youtube channel. Let’s see what season 5 will bring us when it most probably premieres in the Summer.
