Looks Like Selena Gomez Stabs Someone in the Trailer for Her New Series
The first trailer just dropped for Selena Gomez's new Hulu series Only Murders in the Building, and it looks like she'll be taking justice into her own hands in this one. Gomez plays Mabel Mora, a resident of a swanky Upper West Side apartment building who teams up with two other tenants, played by Martin Short and Steve Martin, to investigate the mysterious death of one of their neighbors. As the three true crime junkies create their own podcast about the case, they begin to wonder just how far the tangled web of secrets goes. All the way up to the penthouse, perhaps?
In the trailer, we see Gomez, Short, and Martin looking through secret passageways, deciphering clues from books in someone's library, and attempting to charm their way past an NYPD detective. And then Gomez confronts…someone…in an alley…and stabs them, right? That's what it looks like, at least.
Back in April, as she was shooting the limited series, Gomez was photographed on set covered in blood (seemingly not her character's), getting arrested, and then put in the back of a squad car. So, we know there's some kind of showdown coming, and we can't wait to see how it plays out.
This trailer is giving us Search Party meets Wes Anderson vibes. There's definitely an Old School NYC aesthetic happening, with the great coats and the classy digs (the series was co-created by Thinking Person's Funny Guy Steve Martin, after all), but there's also an element of weirdo-in-the-shadows spookiness.
Selena Gomez recently graced the cover of Vogue Australia, where she opened up about her “cursed” relationships IRL. “I think most of my experiences in relationships have been cursed,” she said. “I’ve been way too young to be exposed to certain things when I was in relationships.” More info here.
