Martin Short, Steve Martin Cancel Hulu Series Over Creative Differences

The comedy series, 'Only Murders in the Building,' will reportedly not return for a fourth season due to disagreements between the two lead actors and the show's creative team

Hulu's hit comedy series, 'Only Murders in the Building,' is reportedly coming to an end after three seasons due to creative differences between the show's two lead actors, Martin Short and Steve Martin, and the show's creative team.

According to sources close to the production, Short and Martin have been unhappy with the direction the show has taken in recent seasons, and they have been pushing for more creative control. The show's creative team, however, has been resistant to their demands, leading to a stalemate that has ultimately resulted in the show's cancellation.

The news of the show's cancellation comes as a surprise to many fans, as 'Only Murders in the Building' has been a critical and commercial success for Hulu. The show has won numerous awards, including two Emmy Awards, and has been praised for its witty writing, charming performances, and clever mysteries.

However, it is not uncommon for successful shows to end after a few seasons due to creative differences between the cast and crew. In recent years, a number of popular shows have been canceled due to similar issues, including 'Arrested Development,' 'Community,' and 'The Mindy Project.'

It is unclear what the future holds for Short and Martin, but it is likely that they will continue to work together on other projects. The two actors have a long history of collaboration, dating back to their days on 'Saturday Night Live' in the 1980s.

In a statement, Hulu said that it was "disappointed" to announce the cancellation of 'Only Murders in the Building,' but that it was "proud of the three seasons that we were able to produce with this talented cast and crew."

Fans of the show will be sad to see it end, but they can take solace in the fact that they will still be able to enjoy the show's first three seasons on Hulu.
