But now Steve Martin is thinking of retiring to focus on his off-screen life more. According to him, Only Murders in the Building is going to be his last show and he “won’t be looking for new roles”
“When this TV show is over, I’m not going to look for any more, I’m not going to look for any more movies. I don’t want to make cameos. This is, weirdly, it.”
Martin says that now he wants to focus more on his family life. He wants to spend more time with them.

But this could also not be a complete retirement considering his upcoming projects, or it could simply be seen as just a break like he said:
“My wife (Anne Stringfield) keeps saying, ‘You always say you’re going to retire and then you always come up with something, I’m really not interested in retiring. I’m not. But I would just work a little less. Maybe.”
So it seems like he is maybe only talking about retiring from TV shows and movies but not from showbiz altogether.
