Solely Murders In The Buildings Season 1Â noticed its justifiable share of movie star visitor stars, from acquainted names like Sting, Nathan Lane, Tina Fey, and Jane Lynch, to Broadway stalwarts Ali Stroker, Da’Vine Pleasure Randolph, and Mandy Gonzalez.
Season 2 is ready to be a lot the identical, with the likes of Shirley MacLaine, Cara Delevingne, and Amy Schumer making appearances.
Ever speculating, we made our personal want checklist of potential visitor celebs who would match proper in on the Arconia for future seasons.
These are only a handful of celebs we expect can be an excellent choices for the rising Solely Murders household!
Tell us what you consider our concepts and who you’d prefer to see on the present!
TIM CURRY
So lots of Tim Curry’s roles are iconic, however his pure British attraction and eccentric edge can be an ideal match for the Arconia.
He could possibly be a reclusive previous educational with data/perception right into a suspect or a British theatre director and rival of Oliver’s!
Curry has elevated the homicide thriller to an artwork kind, as evidenced by his efficiency as Wadsworth within the movie model of Clue (a cult traditional and must-watch!), so it might be nice to see him make a meal out of a task right here.
JASON ALEXANDER
Recent from a pleasant activate Amazon Prime’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Alexander has simply the correct power for the Arconia.
He may simply play a brand new backer for the podcast, or maybe a producer intent on shopping for the rights to the Tim Kono story after which make it right into a Broadway musical.
Not solely that, however you simply know Oliver would completely be tempted to direct/write/star!
STEPHANIE BEATRIZ
If we’re getting meta (as OMITB is liable to doing) and doing a musical model of the podcast throughout the present, Stephanie Beatriz can be good to painting a fictionalized model of Mabel.
Beatriz can do the wry, darkish comedy, as evidenced by her stint as Rosa on NBC’s Brooklyn 99, however we additionally know she will sing because of her star-making flip because the voice of Mirabel in Encanto.
There could possibly be some nice comedy as Selena Gomez both tries to befriend or will get intimidated by a distinct model of herself.
MARY J. BLIGE
It is simple to overlook that Blige is not only one in all America’s high recording stars but in addition an Academy Award-nominated actress.
She’s been seen on Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy and Fox’s Empire, and amongst her many accomplishments is a 2003’s Grammy-winning collaboration with the Arconia’s resident celeb Sting, “Every time I Say Your Title.”
Blige may simply play a heightened model of herself like Sting did in Solely Murders In The Constructing Season 1 — possibly they may even workforce up once more and give you a theme track for the podcast.
CAMILA CABELLO
One other potential “musical” visitor can be rising star/pop sensation Camila Cabello.
Even when there was no singing concerned, Cabello may simply be a buddy or relative from Mabel’s previous, maybe a fellow artist or schoolmate jealous of Mabel’s fame and/or notoriety.
We’ve not seen a lot of Mabel’s previous, apart from what we learn about her Hardy Boys and her mom, so it might be attention-grabbing to see extra individuals from her life present up.
DEMI LOVATO
Equally, if we’re going the “frenemies” route, we may image Demi Lovato making an look.
Lovato and Selena Gomez have a checkered historical past, each showing on Barney at a younger age and turning into Disney icons for a brand new technology. Lovato displaying up on OMITB could possibly be an intriguing prospect, with them and Gomez sharing the small display screen once more.
We all know there can be fireworks in Season 2 — Lovato may preserve issues blowing up into Season 3!
CAROL BURNETT
This lady is licensed comedy gold, and he or she’s by no means stopped working — she’s been a part of Hallmark’s in style Signed, Sealed, Delivered sequence and can be featured on Apple TV+’s upcoming Mrs. American Pie sequence.
Burnett would match proper in on the Arconia, possibly as a relation of Jackie Hoffman’s character (Uma) sister or one more wealthy previous woman (the Arconia is brimming with them!)
BERNADETTE PETERS
Who does not love a reunion?
Peters can be an impressed option to play Charles’ ex-girlfriend (Lucy’s mother) Emma since she starred reverse Steve Martin in his quintessential comedy movie The Jerk.
Beforehand seen on The Good Struggle, Smash, and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Peters is a Broadway legend who has made a splash on the small display screen. She brings depth to any character and he or she and Martin may simply rekindle an “old-flame” chemistry.
And hey, if Burnett and Curry had been each on as effectively, you’d additionally get a reunion from 1982’s Annie!
SALMA HAYEK
As of Solely Murders In The Constructing Season 1, we nonetheless have not met Mabel’s aunt, who owns the residence on the Arconia, nor do we all know what she does, the place she is, and even her identify.
Who higher to fill this position than a glam Salma Hayek? She may inject some fireplace upon her return and discover out what her niece has been doing — possibly create some pressure between Oliver and Charles, who would each discover her intensely engaging (they’re solely human).
This may then make Mabel awkward and uncomfortable as she’d should stay along with her aunt if she wished to remain in New York. (Bonus: Hayek additionally starred with Tina Fey on 30 Rock!)
JANE KRAKOWSKI
Whither Tina Fey goest, there goest Jane Krakowski.
The Schmigadoon star additionally beforehand starred with Fey on 30 Rock and has the market cornered on enjoying vapid, cutthroat socialites. She could possibly be a resident or maybe a bit of one thing totally different, like a mysterious relative of Jan, claiming to be a long-lost half-sister, in search of her fifteen minutes of fame.
Admit it — you could possibly see it!
AMY POEHLER
Additionally a longtime co-conspirator of Tiny Fey, Parks and Recreation’s Amy Poehler may convey a few of her enjoyable power to the Arconia.
Give her one thing wacky to do — possibly an undercover non-public detective investigating the trio on behalf of Cinda Canning?
Poehler would rock any position on this present along with her good mixture of quirkiness and gravitas. (She’d even be a “intelligent tie-in” visitor star for Apple TV+’s Severance, however that is one other put up…)
MAYA RUDOLPH
One of many funniest girls to come back off of Saturday Evening Stay, Rudolph has had some memorable roles in movie (Bridesmaids) and visitor roles on tv comedies (The Good Place).
She’s been retaining busy with voiceover for animated hits Large Mouth and Human Sources. She’ll be again on our screens quickly sufficient for Apple TV+’s Loot, however we might welcome a bit of jaunt over to the Arconia in her spare time!
Rudolph has no have to show herself, and he or she’s versatile — she could possibly be a restaurant critic, opera singer, philanthropist — the chances are countless!
CHEECH MARIN
One thing about Cheech Marin screams hard-nosed cop with a humorousness.
Give him a hyperlink to Charles’s previous on Brazzos — both as a cop who’s a fan (or hater) of the present or, higher but, a former co-star who performed Brazzos’s boss or buddy. Possibly he is simply as washed-up, or possibly he hit the large time, lives in a mansion in L.A., and is filming a brand new movie in New York.
He may even have some unfinished beef with Charles, making him a suspect!
SARAH JESSICA PARKER and MATTHEW BRODERICK
Actual-life husband and spouse Parker and Broderick returned to Broadway this 12 months in Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite. They’d be proper at residence as a bickering or gossiping couple that may’t preserve their affairs non-public — or know every little thing about everybody!
Parker is eternally linked with Manhattan because of Intercourse and the Metropolis, whereas Matthew Broderick is eternally linked with Nathan Lane (OMITB’s disgraced producer/deli proprietor Teddy Dimas) because of their many roles collectively (The Lion King, The Producers).
It solely appears becoming that this couple would discover their manner into the Arconia.
