00:00You know, there's a magic element.
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.
