Only A-listers in the building.

The third season of Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building,” greenlit last month, is shaping up to be a promising one now that Paul Rudd has joined the already acclaimed cast as a series regular, Variety reports.

The news comes on the heels of the 53-year-old “Ant-Man” star’s cameo as Broadway star Ben Glenroy in Tuesday’s sophomore season finale.

“Paul Rudd, after making an auspicious entrance into the world of our show … is someone we clearly want to know more about and see in our upcoming Season 3 — as he is a clear source of many upcoming questions and, as ever with our show, many twists yet to come!” said series co-creator John Hoffman in a statement to the outlet.

The mystery comedy series, which premiered last August, centers on a trio of New York neighbors — played by Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez — who channel their obsession with true crime podcasts into solving a murder in their building, until the second season implicates them in a subsequent murder in the building.

Among the show’s 17 Emmy nominations are outstanding comedy series, as well as outstanding lead actor in a comedy series for frequent collaborators Martin, 77, and Short, 72, who are currently on a comedy tour together.
