Only Murders in the Building ended Season 3 with the death of Jane Lynch’s character, Sazz. But like those late night infomercials, just wait – there’s more.

In an interview with People at the Alzheimer’s Association Magic of Music Gala on May 9, the actress, 63, shared that she’s still going to be a presence in Season 4.

“Well, I’m the murder victim, which is not a tease,” she said. “And so I have some really great flashbacks.”

Lynch added that she’ll “also appear in [the season] another way,” but provided no specifics.

“I don’t want to give it away though, but I’m in it a lot,” she said. “I’m in five out of 10 episodes, so I’m excited.”

In the show, Lynch plays the role of Sazz, Steve Martin’s Charles-Hayden Savage Hollywood stunt double.

Season 4 will see Charles, Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) and Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) trying to figure out who killed her.

Showrunner John Hoffman also told the publication that the new season will explore the theme of “consequences.”

Season 4 will also see the return of Meryl Streep, while Eva Longoria, Eugene Levy and Kumail Nanjiani will be involved in the investigation of Sazz’s death.
