Singer/Actor Selena Gomez is making a comeback on TV with Hulu’s ‘Only Murders in the Building’. American pop star rose to fame at the age of 15 with her role in the Disney TV series ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’. She played the role of Alex Russo series from 2007 to 2012. Since then the star kept on climbing the ladder of stardom.
The 29-year-old performer is about to start her new journey as she takes the leads of Hulu’s ‘Only Murders in the Building’ alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short.
Talking about her experience making the upcoming murder show, during the virtual Hulu panels of the Television Critics Association’s Summer Press Tour, Selena said ”I signed my life away to Disney at a very young age and I didn’t know what I was doing.”
”What I’d say is the level of sophistication of the material is the first reason why I wanted to do this,” Gomez further added keeping her earlier roles in mind when she was just a kid, “I didn’t know what I was doing. I was just running around on set and now I just feel like a sponge and I soak up all the wisdom that I can.”
“It’s just it’s really nice to be back on TV and it’s nice to be cast as my actual age, which never happens. So I am very happy to be doing this. I was just a kid. I didn’t know what I was thinking,” she added.
Reportedly, the upcoming series is about three strangers, who share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one. The series also stars Martin Short, Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan and Steve Martin in major roles.
Martin and John Hoffman have co-created and wrote the series. Martin also serves as executive producer along with Short, Gomez, Jess Rosenthal and Dan Fogelman.
The series is slated to premiere on August 31 on Hulu.
