The fourth season of Only Murders in the Building is shaping up to be one star-studded affair, and another amazing actor just joined the pack! Kumail Nanjiani will star opposite Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as a mystery character in the upcoming Season 4.

The fourth season of Only Murders in the Building will see Charles, Oliver, and Mabel trying to solve the murder of Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), Charles’ long-time stunt double. Season 4 will open with the leading trio taking a trip to Los Angeles before returning to The Arconia.

Nanjiani joined the cast in a mystery recurring role, but we know that his character will be integral to this season’s investigation.

He joined the likes of Eugene Levy (Schitt’s Creek), Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives), and Molly Shannon (The White Lotus), who were previously cast in recurring roles. Meryl Streep is also set to return as a struggling actress Loretta Durkin, reprising her role from Season 3.

Nanjiani got his big break with HBO’s Silicon Valley and went on to star in The Big Sick, Eternals, and The Lovebirds. He received an Emmy nomination for Welcome to Chippendales and will next be seen in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

Ewan McGregor is soon to return to his iconic Star Wars role in the upcoming Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he’ll be in a pretty good company. The full cast of this sci-fi show has been confirmed, and it will include the likes of Hayden Christensen, Joel Edgerton, and Kumail Nanjiani.

Christensen’s return in the role of Darth Vader has been confirmed back in December. In early March, the Game of Thrones actress Indira Varma joined the series in an unspecified role, before the cast list was expanded even further, to include a couple of familiar faces.

Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse are set to return as Luke Skywalker’s Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, who first appeared in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. They took care of baby Luke after Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side and eventually became Darth Vader.

The cast of this highly-anticipated series will also include Moses Ingram, Kumail Nanjiani, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie. Obi-Wan Kenobi will start filming later this month, and its official release date is yet to be revealed.

Multiple outlets confirm that The Big Sick and Silicon Valley star has been cast in the political thriller, which is being introduced to buyers by The Exchange at the Berlin Film Festival.

Oscar-nominated actor Kumail Nanjiani has landed the lead role in Any Person, Living or Dead.

Legendary Entertainment acquired the right for the film, based on the short story by Simon Rich. Rich will also be adapting the script. On board to direct is Jonathan Krisel.

The story follows a brilliant reclusive scientist who, using his homemade time machine, gathers a roundtable of the greatest minds in history to solve all of humanity’s problems. Unfortunately, his plan fails to take into account language barriers, ancient racism and the tendency of medieval men to commit murder. Instead of learning from these Great Men of History, our hero has no choice but to hunt them down and blast them to the past before they can ruin our future.

You can see Nanjiani next in Sony’s Men in Black: International, salted to premiere June 14. He’s also set to star in CBS’s reboot of The Twilight Zone and will reprise his role on HBO’s Silicon Valley.
