Greetings, Upper West Siders. TV-gossip person here. Word on the press-release beat is that everyone’s favorite Selenators — Steve Martin and Martin Short — are returning to Hulu for a second season of Only Murders in the Building, along with their kid-detective sidekick, Selena Gomez. Hulu announced today that it will renew the true-crime-podcast–skewering comedy series just two weeks after it premiered. In a statement, 20th Television president Karey Burke said, “[T]hanks to the incredible audience response, we are so happy to say there will be more murders in the building — which is great news for everyone, except perhaps the residents of the Arconia.†So at least we already know how they’ll keep the premise going once they solve season one’s mystery: more murder! Maybe in season two, the gang will become unlikely podcast celebrities and have to contend with an overeager mental-health service/meal-kit box/mattress-ad rep who lives upstairs. Or maybe they’ll do an uptown-homicide crossover event with Nicole Kidman’s wig from The Undoing.
