    Steve Martin is busier than ever, but he says he's ready to slow down.

    Martin, now 76, currently stars in Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, alongside Martin Short and Selena Gomez. The series has already been renewed for a third season. Meanwhile, the actor is also on tour with Short, with whom he's performed live shows since 2015. He also has a 12th book coming out, as well as a documentary about his life and career.

    However, in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Martin says that after Only Murders ends, he's ready to hang up his on-camera hat.

    "We were very happy just doing the live show,” Martin said of his tours with Short. "There may be a natural end to that — somebody gets sick, somebody just wears out — but I wouldn't do it without Marty."

    "When this television show is done, I'm not going to seek others," he continued. "I'm not going to seek other movies. I don't want to do cameos. This is, weirdly, it."

    Only Murders in the Building is currently streaming on Hulu, with new episodes dropping every Tuesday.
