Imagine a world where the legendary trio from Three Amigos reunites after nearly four decades—not on the big screen, but in the quirky, crime-solving world of Only Murders in the Building. Chevy Chase is making it clear: he’s ready to bring the amigos back together, and he’s not shy about saying he’s the missing piece.
In a recent appearance, the two-time Golden Globe nominee nostalgically expressed his desire to join his former co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short, on their hit Hulu series, which is gearing up for its sixth season. With a playful tone, Chase quipped about the show’s title, jokingly calling it ‘I Only Have Murders in My Building’, before his wife gently corrected him, adding, ‘It’s a very good show.’ Chase agreed, but with a twist: ‘They’re good, but they really are lacking me. That’s where we gotta get going. If you really want a movie with Steve and Marty, you have to have me.’
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is Chase’s confidence warranted, or is he overestimating his role in a potential reunion? While fans adore the dynamic between Martin and Short, Chase’s bold claim raises questions about whether the trio’s chemistry could translate to the modern, mystery-driven format of Only Murders. And this is the part most people miss: Chase’s absence from the spotlight in recent years might make his return either a nostalgic triumph or a risky gamble.
Chase’s sentimentality was palpable as he admitted, ‘I miss them, that’s all I’m saying. I really miss them, they’re great.’ His longing for the camaraderie of his former co-stars is undeniable, but will the feeling be mutual? In 2022, Only Murders co-creator John Hoffman hinted at plans for ‘many, many other amigos’ joining the series, sparking excitement among fans. With the show’s recent renewal for Season 6 and its production move from New York City to London, the stage seems set for unexpected twists—including a potential Chase cameo.
Here’s the burning question: Would a Three Amigos reunion on Only Murders in the Building be a dream come true, or a mismatch of eras and styles? Let’s spark a debate—do you think Chase’s return would elevate the show, or is it better left to the current cast? Share your thoughts below, and let’s dive into this nostalgic yet controversial possibility together!
