Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short have a new mystery to solve in season two of 'Only Murders in the Building,' but this time they're the prime suspects. The three stars spoke to THR all about the new season of their Hulu show and what makes them a terrific trio.
00:01You know, Marty and I have been, you know, working together for almost 40 years,
00:05and the magic element is Selina.
00:06Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Selina Gomez have a new mystery to solve
00:10in season two of Only Murders in the Building,
00:13but this time they're the prime suspects.
00:15The cast spoke to The Hollywood Reporter all about the Hulu show's second season
00:19and what makes the three stars a terrific trio.
00:22What are you most excited for viewers to see in this new season?
00:25Oh gosh, I'm so excited for people to see where our characters are going.
00:30And I'm excited for them to, you know, have more information.
00:35And they get to come along the ride, which I think is a bit more exciting than the first.
00:40I guess I'm just really anxious to see what people think.
00:44You need to go full Ollie Mabel here.
00:46Ollie Mabel? All our names put into one.
00:48Where is the Charles in Ollie Mabel?
00:50The Charles is silent.
00:51Why do you think the three of you make such a great comedic on-screen trio?
00:56Well, you know, there's a magic element.
00:57You know, Marty and I have been, you know, working together for almost 40 years.
01:01And the magic element is Selina.
01:03She kind of throws us off base and, you know, we're actually talking to a person who's 40 years younger than we are.
01:10And it's kind of, you don't quite know what she's going to do as a character or as a person.
01:14Just watching her deliver these lines in such an offbeat way throws you off.
01:19You have to kind of reset yourself.
01:21To me, that's the charm.
01:22That's what chemistry is, just not knowing what the other person's going to do.
01:25While Martin and Short have a long history of working together, Short revealed what has surprised him the most about adding Gomez to the mix.
01:33I think just the absolute ease that she works with, the joyfulness she brings to the set, and how important that is to her in shooting and working was a pure delight.
01:46Selina, for you, what is it like hearing these two comedy legends say so many nice things about you?
01:50Very uncomfortable.
01:53I'm just kidding.
01:54It's lovely.
01:55I get very...
01:56And you believe some of it, right?
01:57I do believe some of it.
01:59No, but I'm honored to work with them, so I'm just excited to be here.
02:06Gomez's longtime friend Cara Delevingne also joins the cast this season.
02:10She opened up about working with a multi-hyphenate star.
02:12It's such a treat to work with her. She's so good at what she does. She is a true comedian, though, as well. I mean, we just had the best time, especially since we're so busy. We also just got the chance to hang out all the time. It was so nice.
02:25Whoever doing this is toying with us.
02:28This ends the investigation into a whole new direction.
02:32Season 2 premieres on Hulu June 28th, and later this summer, Gomez will celebrate a major milestone.
02:39Happy early birthday. Your 30th birthday is coming up.
02:43As you move into a new decade, what do you hope to see yourself accomplish and do in your 30s?
02:48Oh, gosh, that made me sick for some reason.
02:50Oh, boy, I just hope to continue to grow and learn, and if anything, professionally, I would love to do more film and TV, so that's my dream.
03:06But I don't know. I guess, I don't know. It's weird.
