Erwich added: “Its appeal across generations, the intersection of humor and heart, and its truly original approach are a hallmark of and testament to Dan [Fogelman], John [Hoffman], Steve, Marty and Selena’s work. We are grateful to be able to continue telling the stories of Charles, Oliver and Mabel to viewers that have consistently shown us they crave more of this story.”
Additionally, Only Murders co-creator Hoffman previously told The Hollywood Reporter he wanted to “up the stakes for our three.” After they “stepped in it so badly by the end of season one … everything [became] about, ‘How do we even begin to deal with this situation?'” That exploration is likely to continue in the show’s third season.
