Selena Gomez makes her television comeback with the help of two comedy legends.
The singer and actress has landed a role in Steve Martin and Martin Short’s new sitcom Only Murders in the Buildings, which will air on Hulu.
The series follows three strangers (Martin, Short and Gomez) who are all obsessed with true crime, but then find themselves embedded in a real mystery that they must solve.
Gomez will also produce the show alongside Martin and co-creator John Hoffman.
When the series was announced in June, Short said (via Deadline): “I’m so proud to say that this show is already one of the highlights of my career.”
While Martin joked, “I’m proud to say it’s a blip on my radar.”
Back in May, Gomez opened up about her mental health, saying she had recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and explained why she is now ready to talk about it.
Gomez spoke with Miley Cyrus on Instagram Live as part of Cyrus’ ‘Bright Minded: Live’ series, saying, “Recently I went to one of the best mental hospitals … McLean Hospital and I discussed that, after years from going through many different things, I realized that I was bipolar and that, if I learn more information, it actually helps me.
“It does not scare me once I know it and I think people are afraid of that.”
Gomez went on to say, “When I was younger, I was afraid of thunder and my mother bought me all these different books on thunder, so she seemed, ‘The more you educate yourself about this, the more you will not be afraid. ‘, and it worked perfectly and that’s kind of thing that helps me big time.’
