It’s time to do some more digging! Only Murders are allowed in the BuildingStars Selena Gomez, Steve Martin Martin ShortDish on the second season of emmy magazine — and Us WeeklyExclusive First Look
The trio donned their best for their first interview about season 2 on Hulu, which will air on June 28. Gomez, 29 years old, wore a V necked red dress, while Martin, 72, and Short, 76, wore matching tuxedos with striped socks.
Martin joked that there would be a new case in the upcoming episodes. “The title is Only Murders are allowed in the BuildingSo how many murders are possible? And it turns out, one a year,” the Saturday Night Live alum quipped.
Gomez admitted she was nervous about doing a second season after season 1. “I was kind of nervous to be honest to do a second season because it was so good, the first one, so I was terrified,” she said. Short was quick to jump in with a joke, saying, “I guess you don’t remember Grease 2.”
The actors discussed why they would make good detectives. “I think I would be a good detective because I’m very nosey. I can track down things, like if you need to find someone. I used to be really good at that,” the Wizards of Waverly PlaceAn alum said.
“I like research and fact checking and investigation,” Martin said, as Short interjected: “And I can do many different voices which can be good if you’re a detective.”
Martin and Short have been friends since the day they met on the set of Three Amigos in the ’80s, but this was both of their first time working with Gomez. “Selena was an unknown,” the Pink Panther actor said. “And she’s coming from pop culture, we don’t know if she’s a diva, we don’t know if she’s crazy. We don’t know anything about her.”
The pop star chimed in, “I didn’t know Steve was alive!” She then shared that her septuagenarian costars have made her feel right at home. “I have to say I’m really lucky … it’s been wonderful. I feel like I’m a part of the group, I don’t feel like an outcast because I’m younger,” she said, adding that the two comedians are “very protective of me too.”
“And we stay up with the latest music too, like Snoop Dogg,” Martin joked, electing an eye roll from Gomez. The “Bad Liar” singer replied, “That’s not happening right now.”
Despite their differences in age, Short revealed that they share some commonalities. “We are kind, we are professional, we are considerate,” he said. The Innerspace actor then joked that they also “all like to scream at our assistants … that’s a shared trait.”
The Santa Claus 3 actor also divulged why Martin doesn’t want Gomez to be a guest at one of their Steve Martin & Martin Short live comedy shows. “Steve’s fear of Selena … is that when she left the audience would leave as well,” he said.
“I don’t think I would make any appearances only because I don’t think I’m that funny,” Gomez explained. Martin was quick to point out that she was learning, saying, “you have picked up on our habit of constantly insulting each other.”
