The Surprising Broadway Stories Behind the Best ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Costumes

In the third season of Hulu’s hit comedy murder mystery Only Murders in the Building, an eye-catching tie-dye hoodie has been replaced by a rattle print handkerchief as the most talked about item of clothing.

Everything centers on Oliver Putman’s (Martin Short) Broadway comeback, but the death of leading man Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd) casts a long shadow on the opening night performance of Death Rattle. After surviving an on-stage collapse at the Goosebury Theater, Ben follows in Tim Kono and Bunny Folger’s bloody footsteps by dying in the pre-war luxury Arconia apartment building. Ben is clutching the opening night hanky gift in his hand, matching the ones he gave to the Death Rattle cast and crew. The custom-made token is now a vital clue that could identify the person who gave Ben a one-way trip down a temporarily broken elevator shaft.

Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), and Oliver all have different priorities this season. As the suspect list grows, there is a continuing push-pull between those who want to investigate Ben’s death and those with Broadway on their mind. While they can’t agree on the future of their podcast, they remain some of the best-dressed sleuths on television. As with previous seasons, the outerwear, knits, boots, and scarves make me wish it was fall already—I haven’t guessed who the killer is yet, but I am certain Mabel will influence my wardrobe for the third year in a row.
