This year, we see a whole range of talent walk into the building – and the series looks to be set to solve yet another murder.

Here's a round up of the most exciting celebrity guest stars appearing in Only Murders In The Building season 5.

Beanie Feldstein

Booksmart and Lady Bird star Feldstein will enter the show's universe – and the Alconia's penthouse – as Thea (also referred to as The, which is pronounced “tea”), who is one of Mabel's former friends. She may be something of an antagonist, as she looks down on Mabel's comparative success, as she has made it as a famous pop star.

Meryl Streep

Streep has been confirmed as returning for season 5 as Oliver's wife Loretta Durkin, who is now a famous TV star. Durkin first appeared in Only Murders In The Building season 3, when she was the star of Oliver's musical, as well as the mother of Ben Glenroy's adopted brother Dickie.

The Holdovers star will return as Detective Donna Williams – admittedly not a sole season 5 guest star but we had to give her a shout out.

Bobby Cannavale

Bobby plays Sofia's missing husband Nicky, also nicknamed “The Neck” and the “Dry‑Cleaning King of Brooklyn”. He is connected with the Caputo crime family and is said to be one of the last people to see Lester alive. Suspiscious. We reckon he will be a key figure on season 5's story, as Sofia even said in the season 4 finale: “What happened to Nicky has everything to do with this building.”

Renée Zellweger

Téa will play Sofia Caccimelio, who approached the trio during the season 4 finale to ask for their help investigating her husband's disappearance and solve the case, as her police weren't able to. After initially saying no, they reach back out when they discover that Nicky was connected to Lester.
