Every Murderer in Only Murders in the Building Ranked, Including That Huge Twist from Season 3

Becky

Season: 2

Becky’s has to be one of the most jaw-dropping and elaborate murderer reveals in history. The gang pulls off a reveal party in they try to reveal the real killer of Bunny when Alice fake stabs Charles. Becky (then known as Poppy) cracked under pressure and confronted that Alice couldn’t have been the murderer. The gang confronts Becky and Charles pops up from his fake murder.

She just wanted to make a good podcast! As someone who faked her own death to escape her ordinary (but also tragic) life, framing your boss, who is also the host of a very famous murder podcast, doesn’t seem like the right thing to do!

Donna

Season: 3

Technically, she only had a hand in Ben’s death and it was to protect her child. Donna poisoned Ben’s cookie on opening night after reviews called out the over-the-top actor as the weakest link in the play. She wanted her son Cliff’s solo production debut to thrive since the two were one of the most powerful producing duos. She even went the extra mile by covering up Cliff’s murder by trying to take the blame for her son. I mean, what better way to show a mother’s love for her son?

Jan

Season: 1

You never forget your first murder mystery. Season 1’s killer was revealed to be Jan who was dating Charles for the duration of the season. Jan killed Tim after he broke things off with her, and she assumed he was cheating. She poisoned Tim with a lethal dose of secobarbitaland then shot him and made it looked like a suicide.

Jan proved to be a cunning helper in Tim’s own murder mystery, helping out the group with pizza rolls. But when she wanted to be more part of the team, the team rejected her, and suddenly she was stabbed! Charles put all the pieces together to find out that she was actually the murderer and she was arrested.

Jan still keeps popping up between seasons as Sazz’s love interest or when she helped solve Bunny’s murder in the second season. And who knows if we’ll see her appear in or out of prison in the future?

Cliff

Season: 3

Okay, season 3 had us dizzy with the amount of bizarre twists there were. Death Rattle Razzle was supposed to be Cliff’s big break! Why would a mediocre actor try to ruin his spotlight? After his mom tried to murder the big star, he sealed the deal when he kicked Ben down the elevator shaft ending that run.

When Cliff confessed to the murder, he was dangling off the stage and says to his mom, “It was an accident.” Donna pulls him up while he’s sobbing and both of them are taken away into custody after the final curtain call.
