“Only Murders in the Building” creator John Hoffmansays he is “incredibly grateful and relieved and thrilled” after the second season of the Hulu comedy racked up a total of 11 Emmy Award nominations.
“You never know with these things,” Hoffman told TheWrap. “We aired [the second season] last year at this time. So it was very sweet to have people appreciate it and remember it and it’s all due to everyone all in on it. So it’s hugely humbling, very gratifying. There’s no way around these feelings.”
In addition to being nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series, actors Martin Short and Nathan Lane received lead and guest actor nods for their roles of Oliver Putnam and Teddy Dimas, respectively, while Hoffman, Matteo Borghese and Rob Turbovsky received a nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series on the episode “I Know Who Did It.”
