The murder of Bunny Folger (played by Jayne Houdyshell) was finally solved by the end of Only Murders in the Building Season 2 with Poppy White (Adina Verson) revealed to be her killer but already, Oliver (Martin Short), Charles (Steve Martin) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) have another murder case to solve in Season 3.
Thankfully, Only Murders in the Building Season 3 has already been given the green light but fans will have to wait patiently for the new season to land on screens.
One thing is for sure, Season 3 will focus on the death of Broadway star Ben Glenroy, played by the multi-award-winning actor Paul Rudd.

A time jump at the end of Season 2 saw Mabel, Charles, and Oliver living their best lives. Mabel looked the happiest she had ever been, Charles was no longer a washed-up star and Oliver had made his return to Broadway as a director.
However, things took a dark turn in the episode's final moments when Oliver's leading man collapsed on stage and died, blood dripping from his mouth. This suggests someone may have poisoned him but who?
Newsweek has taken a look at the questions that need to be answered in Season 3 of Only Murders in the Building.
5 Questions Needing an Answer in 'Only Murders in the Building' Season 3
1. Who Killed Ben Glenroy?
Only Murders in the Building fans would have been overjoyed to see Paul Rudd make a cameo appearance in the series and would have been devasted to find out his screen presence lasted approximately two minutes.
His character Ben Glenroy was starring in Oliver's Broadway show opposite Charles who was making his stage debut. The pair did not see eye to eye, with Ben complaining to Oliver about his co-star.
As the curtain opened, Ben stuttered on his lines before collapsing on the stage. Blood was seen dripping from his mouth and Charles screamed out: "He's not breathing!"
For now, audiences know very little about Ben or who would want him to dead but one thing is for sure, things are not looking great for Charles for now, as he fits the main suspect criteria.
Ben and Charles' rivalry was no secret and before Ben took to the stage, Charles warned Ben to "stay away from her."
Who "her" is was not revealed. Could it be his new love interest? His daughter Lucy or even Mabel? Hopefully, we will find out in Season 3 just who Charles was referring to.

2. What Did Cinda Canning Know?
In the Only Murders in the Building Season 2 finale, Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) helped Oliver, Charles and Mabel unmask Bunny's killer, Poppy.
Poppy had been Cinda's assistant and had helped her launch the award-winning podcast, All Is Not OK in Oklahoma, all about the murder of local girl Becky Butler.
However, in the penultimate episode of Season 2, audiences learned Becky Butler was actually Poppy and Poppy had faked the entire story with the help of corrupt cop Detective Kreps.
In the finale, it is suggested Cinda was clueless about Poppy/Becky's lies but as viewers know, Cinda has never been one to play by the rules and was gaining a huge following from rival podcast, Only Murderers in the Building, so perhaps she knows a little more than meets the eye.

3. What Happened to the Dimases?
Will Theo (James Caverly) and Teddy Dimas (Nathan Lane) ever go to jail? In Season 1, they were arrested for their mass scheme of grave robbing, and in Season 2, they were out on bail.
They played a huge role in the cover-up of the first murder at The Arconia so who is to say they are not involved in the third to hit Oliver, Charles, and Mabel's lives?
After all, Teddy and Oliver are theater enemies, so perhaps Teddy has finally taken his revenge by carrying out a murder right in front of Oliver's eyes.

4. What Is Alice's Deal?
British artist Alice (Cara Delevingne) popped up out of nowhere and inserted herself into Mabel's life, crossing a whole load of boundaries when she recreated Bunny's murder scene in Mabel's apartment without her consent.
Alice was also unmasked as a liar and despite the fact that she insisted that she never killed Bunny, there is something about Alice that cannot be trusted.
In the Season 2 finale, Alice was in on the sting to unmask Poppy as Bunny killer, but her loyalty to Charles, Mabel and Oliver sure does not explain her obsession with Bunny's death and and Mabel's trauma.
Is Alice maybe playing a game of keep your friends close and your enemies closer?

5. What Will Nina Lin Do Next?
At first, Nina and Bunny seemed like the perfect mentee and mentor. Nina (Christine Ko), who was taking over from Bunny as Arconia board president following Bunny's retirement seemed dedicated to preserving Arconia and Bunny's legacy on the surface but underneath all the smiles and politeness, there was for sure a darker side to Nina.
It soon transpired that Nina had plans to transform the Arconia and make a whole load of money from restructuring the building and its employee setup, something Bunny did not agree with.
At the beginning of Season 2, Nina looked like Bunny's most obvious killer and although Poppy confessed to being the true killer, suspicions about Nina's involvement have not been completely eradicated.
Seasons 1 and 2 of Only Murders in the Building are streaming on Hulu and Disney+ now.
