Much-awaited Character Lucy to Join Only Murders in the Building

Three new characters will be joining Only Murders in the Building as season regulars: Lucy, Nina Kim, and Alice.

We know about Lucy from the picture Charles paints: he used to date her mom Emma and had quite an important place in Lucy’s formative years. But on a cruise together, Emma left abruptly with a seven-year-old Lucy without informing Charles.

It has not been the same since then. The guilt continued to eat Charles alive during the first season. But his momentary triumph of solving Tim Kono’s case gives him the courage to reconnect with Lucy via text.

When we finally see Lucy on-screen in Season 2, she will be a teen that Charles no longer knows well. Besides watching how Charles and Lucy mend their relationship, she’s also said to be the key to solving Bunny’s mystery. I will stay tuned for that!

Next up, we have Nina Kim. The show is still looking to cast this character: a pregnant Asian/South Asian woman in her 30s. Known to be utterly beautiful, affluent, and powerful, she covets Bunny’s position as Board President of the Arconia.

Is that enough cause for murder? At least the podcast squad seems to think so. As someone who always knows how to get what she wants, Nina will be a formidable obstacle to the trio.

I expect that Nina will be a new neighbor moving into the Arconia, given that’s the only logical way to run for the building’s president.

Like Nina, an actor for the role of Alice is also being scouted. She is a British artist and curator, who has founded the Third Arm Gallery and Collective. Having accomplished much at such a young age and with exclusive ties to the art community, Nina is on everyone’s it-list.

While Tim Kono’s death turned the investigative lens inwards into the different Arconian residents, Bunny’s death will expand the Only Murders universe beyond its building, as seen with the introduction of these three characters.

Perhaps, we may also finally get to see Mable’s aunt? One can hope.

According to an interview with Elle, Only Murders in the Building Season 2 will start filming next month.
