We have a round-up of heavy hitters joining shows this week..
Only Murders in The Building:
Paul Rudd has joined the cast of Hulu's “Only Murders in the Building.”
The actor will star in the show’s third season after making a cameo as Broadway star Ben Glenroy in Season 2 finale “I Know Who Did It.” It's not yet known whether Rudd will appear in a series regular, recurring or guest capacity.
The Morning Show:
Jon Hamm is joining season three of Apple TV+’s The Morning Show.
Hamm, fresh from starring in Top Gun: Maverick, will play Paul Marks, a corporate titan who sets his sights on UBA, pulling Billy Crudup’s Cory, Jennifer Aniston’s Alex and Reese Witherspoon’s Bradley into his powerful orbit.
Nicole Beharie is also joining the cast for Season 3.
She will star in the upcoming installment as Christina Hunter, a new competitive and charismatic anchor on the series’ fictional morning show. Christina works hard, plays hard and "navigates the Teacup with good-humored irreverence."
Succession:
Dagmara Domińczyk, who was a series regular for the last two seasons after recurring in Season 1, playing Waystar Royco head PR and legal team member Karolina Novotney, was conspicuously missing from the returning cast list released in conjunction with the Season 4 production start in June. It's now been confirmed will be back.
Also set to return are several popular Succession recurring players, Alexander Skarsgård whose character - tech CEO Lukas Mattson - is pivotal to the Season 4 story arc; Arian Moayed as Kendall’s frenemy Stewy Hosseini (he was a series regular in Season 2 and recurred on Seasons 1 and 3); Juliana Canfield as Kendall’s intrepid assistant Jess Jordan; Annabelle Dexter-Jones as Kendall’s media heiress love interest Naomi Pierce; Hope Davis as another media heiress, Sandy Furness’ daughter Sandi Furness; and Cherry Jones reprising her Season 2 role as Pierce family matriarch Nan.
