Only Murders in the Building is finally back with its third run on Hulu, but many fans still wonder who the season 2 killer is. Who’s the murderer in Only Murders in the Building season 2? And why did someone want to assassinate Bunny Folger? Here’s what you need to know. Spoilers ahead for season 2 of Only Murders in the Building.
Who’s the killer in Only Murders in the Building season 2?
Poppy White is the killer in Only Murders in the Building season 2.
Season 2 followed Oliver (Martin Short), Charles (Steve Martin), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) investigating the assassination of Bunny Folger. The former head of the board of the Arconia died after being stabbed with a knife and a knitting needle. The season 2 finale unveiled that the hand behind the murderer was Poppy’s (Adina Verson).
Thanks to the assistance of her boyfriend, Detective Daniel Kreps (Michael Rapaport), Poppy killed Bunny and attempted to frame Mabel for the murderer. The unexpected season 2 finale exposed Poppy as the killer during a party. It also unveiled the woman’s real name was Becky Butler. Yes, the same Becky from the All Is Not OK in Oklahoma podcast referenced in the freshman season.
Why was Bunny Folger killed?
Bunny Folger’s killer wanted to make a good story for a new successful podcast.
Poppy/Becky aimed to break free from her role as assistant of Cinda Canning (Tina Fey), the host of the popular true-crime podcast “All Is Not OK in Oklahoma.” When Cinda complained there were no new murders to cover in her podcast, Poppy took things into her hands and killed Bunny. Poppy’s plan to get rid of Cinda and make a successful podcast herself failed after the joint efforts of Oliver, Charles, Mabel, and Cinda caught her red-handed.
