T8 WHATS UP! June 26 - July 2, 2022 BY RAYE SMITH TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON HULU "Only Murders in the Building" - Season 2 Dig into a new case with the highly anticipated Season 2 re- lease of "Only Murders in the Building," making its way to Hulu Tuesday, June 28. Starring Selena Gomez ("A Rainy Day in New York," 2019), Steve Martin ("The Pink Panther," 2006) and Martin Short ("Innerspace," 1987) as Mabel, Charles and Ol- iver, an unlikely trio of amateur sleuths brought together in the first season by their mutual love of the same true crime podcast. When a murder hap- pened to take place in the high- end New York City building where they all live, the true crime aficionados took it upon themselves to create their very own podcast as they try to solve the murder themselves. While Season 1 ended on quite a cliffhanger (and another mur- der in the building), Season 2 kicks off with Mabel, Charles and Oliver trying to keep them- selves out of hot water as they look into their newest case. Created by Martin and John Hoffman of "Grace and Frankie", "Only Murders in the Building" Season 2 is directed by Jamie Babbit ("Silicon Val- ley") and Cherien Dabis ("Ramy").
