Selena Gomez recently gave fans a glimpse behind the curtain of the much-anticipated fifth season of Only Murders in the Building.
On April 5, Gomez took to social media to share behind-the-scenes photos from the set, captioning them simply, “a few memories.” Among the images was a standout group shot that included series regulars Martin Short and Steve Martin, seated alongside Gomez—as well as surprise appearances from acclaimed actors Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, and Logan Lerman.
While Hulu has yet to officially confirm Logan Lerman’s participation, the presence of the actor in the cast photo has ignited speculation. Fans are buzzing about what role he might play in the new season, with many theorizing he could be connected to the characters played by Zellweger or Waltz—or perhaps even become a new romantic interest for Gomez’s character, Mabel.
Season 5 is currently in active production and promises another twist-filled chapter in the Arconia mystery universe. The storyline will revolve around the murder of Lester, the beloved longtime doorman of the Arconia, whose lifeless body was shockingly discovered in the building’s fountain during the dramatic conclusion of Season 4. In addition, the season will delve into the strange disappearance of Nicky Caccimelio, a man with ties to a powerful crime family. His wife, Sofia—portrayed by Téa Leoni—made a brief but memorable appearance in the final moments of the last season, urgently seeking the trio’s help.
Returning for this season are the core trio—Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin—bringing their signature blend of humor, charm, and mystery-solving chemistry. They will be joined by new faces Zellweger, Waltz, Keegan-Michael Key, and potentially Logan Lerman.
With Gomez continuing to play a pivotal role both on-screen and as an executive producer, fans are eager to see how the storyline unfolds. As excitement builds, one thing’s certain: Selena Gomez and her ever-expanding ensemble cast are about to deliver another unforgettable season.
