Singer-actor Selena Gomez’s hit comedy series ‘Only Murders in the Building’ has been renewed for Season 2 at Hulu.

According to Variety, ‘Only Murders in the Building’ co-creator and executive producer John Hoffman shared in a media statement, “Everyone in our amazing ‘Building’ worked with such love and expertise through extraordinary times — and with incredible support from Disney, Hulu and 20th TV — to create a first season that might live up to our legendary cast, our beloved New York City, and to make a show about connection.” “To feel we’ve connected with our audience and hit the mark enough already to have the chance to continue — and to carry on our show’s wild ride of mystery-comedy-empathy — is too exciting for words. So I’ll shut up now — and just say a huge thanks to all and I can’t wait for more!” Hoffman added.

‘Only Murders in the Building’ marks the first time Selena is acting in a TV show since ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’.

In the series, she plays a resident of an Upper West Side apartment building who teams up with two of her neighbours (played by Martin and Short) to discover the truth behind a neighbour’s sudden death.

Apart from acting, Martin also serves as the co-creator of the comedy thriller series alongside Hoffman. Both of them executive produce along with Short, Selena, Jamie Babbitt, Dan Fogelman, and Jess Rosenthal.
