Meryl Streep and Martin Short were recently seen filming a scene for Only Murders in the Building that has fans buzzing. On May 7, 2025, the two actors, portraying the married couple Loretta Durkin and Oliver Putnam, shared an affectionate moment while filming on the streets of New York City. In the photos, Short, dressed as Oliver, and Streep, as Loretta, were seen cuddling and also sharing a kiss.
It is unclear exactly what the characters are running toward or from in the scene. However, it seems likely that Loretta will continue working alongside Oliver, Selena Gomez’s Mabel Mora, and Steve Martin’s Charles-Haden Savage, as they attempt to solve another murder mystery. In the previous season, viewers saw Oliver and Loretta get married. After their wedding, the doorman of the Arconia, Lester, was found dead, leading to the latest mystery.
Since Streep joined the series in season three, there’s been constant speculation about her offscreen connection with Short. However, despite rumors, Short’s representatives have emphasized that they are simply “very good friends, nothing more.” However, the pair’s strong onscreen chemistry remains undeniable, leading to many speculations.

The storyline for the upcoming season promises more mystery and fun as the characters dive into a new murder case.
