After pictures of Selena Gomez in a wedding dress went viral on social media in March, “Only Murders in the Building” fans started speculating how it could fit into the Hulu comedy’s plot for Season 3.
Tuesday’s new episode answered that question, as Mabel donned Joy’s (Andrea Martin) mother’s wedding dress, left behind in Charles’ (Steve Martin) apartment, while the trio raced to a courthouse to clear Loretta Durkin’s (Meryl Streep) name after finding Donna DeMeo (Linda Edmond) to be the latest suspect in Ben Glenroy’s (Paul Rudd) murder.
Showrunner John Hoffman told TheWrap, in an interview conducted in accordance with WGA guidance and facilitated through his personal publicist, that the idea for the wedding dress came later in the planning for Season 3 and that filming the trio outside of New York City’s Belnord apartment complex was added at the last minute.
