would include a host for the first time in three years.

Martin, Short and Gomez could show off their SAG Award-nominated chemistry to the Oscar stage, bringing laughs, music and appeal to a wide range of demographics.

Erwich calls “Only Murders” a “labor of love, quite frankly, from day one. Not just for the producers but for [Walt Disney TV entertainment chairman] Dana [Walden] and [20th TV topper] Karey [Burke] and me, and our teams. And it just kept getting better at every level. It started with Dan Fogelman, who’s one of the great talents of the Disney television studio world. With Dan, you got John Hoffman and Steve Martin, and that gets you Marty and Selena and then something special was being built.
“It’s not a strategy of volume,” Erwich said. “Under Dana Walden, we really are a talent-first company. We think that every great idea has a home within our company. And that’s the creative filter on top and then we have an incredibly collaborative relationship with Karey Burke and Johnie Davis at the studios. And that’s the fertile ground from which all of this great work comes. We have far less at bats than our competitors.
