If you’re a fan of comedy that grew up in the ‘80s or ‘90s, especially, you are probably pretty familiar with the names Steven Martin and Martin Short. These two men have been at the top of their comedic game for decades now. Based on those two names alone, you should get excited for the upcoming Hulu series, “Only Murders in the Building.”
However, as seen in the first teaser for ‘Only Murders,’ the series is also set to appeal to a younger audience with the third member of the cast, Selena Gomez, who joins the aforementioned duo as a group of true-crime obsessors that join forces to solve a crime that is very close to home.
Joining Martin, Short, and Gomez in the cast are Aaron Dominguez and Amy Ryan. Martin co-wrote and co-created the series alongside John Hoffman, who is probably best known for his work on series such as “Looking” and “Grace & Frankie.”
“Only Murders in the Building” arrives on Hulu on August 31. You can watch the first teaser below.
Here’s the synopsis:
From the minds of Steve Martin, Dan Fogelman and John Hoffman comes a comedic murder-mystery series for the ages. “Only Murders in the Building” follows three strangers (Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez) who share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one. When a grisly death occurs inside their exclusive Upper West Side apartment building, the trio suspects murder and employs their precise knowledge of true crime to investigate the truth. As they record a podcast of their own to document the case, the three unravel the complex secrets of the building which stretch back years. Perhaps even more explosive are the lies they tell one another. Soon, the endangered trio comes to realize a killer might be living amongst them as they race to decipher the mounting clues before it’s too late.
