The fifth season of Only Murders in the Building premiered on Tuesday, September 9, with three new episodes chronicling the latest mysterious death to occur at the fictional Arconia. (New episodes will be released weekly on Tuesdays until the season finale on October 28.) In the latest installment, crime-solving trio and podcast cohosts Charles-Haden Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora, played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, respectively, will join forces once again to figure out who murdered their beloved doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca).
Outside of the show, the trio has a wedding to prepare for. Gomez is planning to wed music producer Benny Blanco, and though a wedding date hasn’t been set yet, both Gomez and Blanco have gone on bachelorette and bachelor parties—Gomez to Mexico and Blanco to Vegas, according to People. While appearing on The Tonight Show to promote the new season of Only Murders, Gomez, flanked by Short and Martin, fielded questions from host Jimmy Fallon about her upcoming nuptials. “It’s wonderful. I’m very lucky. It’s going well,” she said. “I’m sure our invitations will be arriving any day now,” quipped Martin, leading Fallon to ask if she invited her elder costars.
“Of course they’re invited. Marty will be the ring bearer,” said Gomez. In true Short fashion, the SAG Award winner broke out a Gollum impression. “Here’s your ring, Selena! Take it,” joked Short.
Gomez and Blanco’s wedding details are under wraps, but per Grazia magazine, Gomez may be walking down the aisle in late September in Montecito or Santa Barbara. It’s also unclear if Short will bring his Only Murders in the Building love interest and long rumored but not officially confirmed girlfriend Meryl Streep to Gomez’s big day.
