Washington [US], October 28 (ANI): In a touching moment shared on the set of ‘Only Murders in the Building’, co-creator and showrunner John Hoffman recounted how Meryl Streep tearfully thanked him for including romantic scenes between her character and Martin Short’s.
This heartfelt exchange took place during the filming of Season 3, highlighting the impact of the show on its celebrated cast.
As per Deadline, in an interview ahead of the Season 4 finale, Hoffman reminisced about a night spent shooting on a ferry in Manhattan.
“We shot until about 2 in the morning on the most gorgeous night,” he recalled.
After wrapping up, he encountered Streep waiting for him at the gangplank, visibly emotional.
“She had tears in her eyes and she said, ‘I just had to wait here for you to get off the boat to say thank you,'” he said as per Deadline.
Streep expressed her appreciation for the opportunity to portray romantic scenes at this stage in her career, saying, “I just got to play a scene I really thought that the likes of which I wouldn’t have a chance to do. To play romantic scenes at this age with this band in this way, it’s just the greatest thing ever.”
Hoffman reflected on the profound experience, stating, “I felt like the luckiest guy in the world to have her anywhere near a set that I was near.”
As per Deadline, he expressed his hope that viewers would embrace the chemistry between Streep’s character, Loretta, and Short’s character, Oliver, as much as the cast enjoyed working together.
The ensemble cast of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ also features Selena Gomez and Steve Martin, with Season 4 introducing notable additions like Molly Shannon, Eva Longoria, Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, Kumail Nanjiani, and Melissa McCarthy.
The show follows the trio from the Arconia as they navigate a complex murder conspiracy tied to their podcast.
As the romantic arc between Loretta and Oliver unfolds, Hoffman noted, “It is one of the most unexpected turns. I remember thinking, like, ‘God.’ As I got to know Meryl and Marty and watched them work together, it was unbelievable. We were laughing our heads off, and they just delighted in each other on screen, off screen in every way.”
With the Season 4 finale set to air on October 29, fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this captivating blend of mystery and humour. (ANI)
