One of the highlights of the first two seasons of “Only Murders in the Building” was Nathan Lane.
The Tony and Emmy Award winner has been hilariously devious as Teddy Dimas, deli magnate. Teddy and his deaf son, Theo (James Caverly), were among the stars of the Arconia apartment house.
But Teddy wasn’t mentioned in Season 3 and didn’t appear, much to everyone’s chagrin. Lane was busy on Broadway with “Pictures from Home,” and shooting season 2 of HBO’s “The Gilded Age.”
I am told, however, reliably, that Lane/Teddy will be back for Season 4. He’s an excellent antagonist for Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Short’s Oliver is particularly put out by him.
This is good news because it would be best for “Only Murders” to get back to the building in the title after a season in a Broadway theater. The next obvious plot (to me, anyway) is for a movie or TV show to be shot in the building based on the podcast, and a murder or two are committed. You never know!
Also, PS, time for Jan (Amy Ryan) to get out of jail!
