He told Variety: ‘Paul Rudd, after making an auspicious entrance into the world of our show at the end of Season 2 as Ben Glenroy, is someone we clearly want to know more about and see in our upcoming Season 3 — as he is a clear source of many upcoming questions and, as ever with our show, many twists yet to come!’

The first two episodes of Only Murders in the Building are available to stream on Disney Plus, with new episodes premiering every Tuesday.
