SPOILER ALERT: The following reveals major plot points from Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building Season 2 finale.

We need to have time with him; would he come back and play with us in Season 3? God love Paul Rudd because he immediately said yes.”
Hoffman also shared insight into Ben’s conversation with Charles-Haden prior to the former dropping dead on stage. Could they have just been acting? The pair often reference “her,” for example when Charles-Haden tells Ben to “stay away from her.”
