OMITB have had some pretty iconic guest stars over the last two seasons, including Amy Schumer, Cara Delevingne and actual Sting playing himself – and Paul was confirmed to be joining the cast in spectacular fashion.

He made his debut as Ben Glenroy at the end of the episode, nabbing a starring role in Oliver’s new play with co-star Charles, but it was clear that the pair were not getting on.

Series co-creator John Hoffman has now confirmed that Paul will be a prominent part of the upcoming episodes.

A statement shared with Variety read: ‘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!’
