Logan Lerman Joins ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Season 5: Selena Gomez Spills the Beans
Season 5 of Hulu’s hit series Only Murders in the Building is already turning heads—and not just because of the mystery plot. Selena Gomez just revealed a massive casting update that has fans buzzing: actor Logan Lerman is officially joining the ensemble.
Behind-the-Scenes Reveal from Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez, who stars in the series as Mabel Mora, casually dropped the casting bombshell through an Instagram story. The behind-the-scenes photo showed her alongside some familiar faces—and a few major surprises.
Among the crowd were co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, along with Oscar-winners Renée Zellweger and Christoph Waltz. But front and center was Percy Jackson and Hunters star Logan Lerman, sparking instant fan frenzy online.
Also spotted in the picture were John Hoffman (co-creator of the show), and new cast additions Téa Leoni and Keegan-Michael Key, though their roles remain under wraps for now.
What Role Will Logan Lerman Play?
While Hulu hasn’t officially confirmed his character details yet, sources close to production suggest that Logan Lerman will have a recurring role across the season. This could mean anything from a love interest to a major suspect in the new murder mystery.
The move marks Lerman’s return to 20th Century TV and Hulu after starring in the limited series We Were the Lucky Ones.
Season 5 Plot: What’s the New Mystery?
Last season, the podcast trio took a detour to Hollywood as their crime-solving adventures were turned into a movie. But Season 5 is set to return to the core mystery roots of the show.
This time around, Mabel, Charles, and Oliver will investigate the murder of Lester. Expect plenty of twists, dead-ends, and comedy along the way as the sleuths dive deep into another whodunit.
Returning Favorites and Fresh Faces
Fans will be excited to hear that Michael Cyril Creighton will return as fan-favorite Howard. Season 4 had already pushed the star power into high gear with appearances from:
- Meryl Streep
- Eugene Levy
- Eva Longoria
- Zach Galifianakis
- Jane Lynch
- Melissa McCarthy
- Kumail Nanjiani
- Molly Shannon
Season 5 seems poised to top that.
Only Murders in the Building: An Awards Darling
The show recently won its first Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for Best Comedy Series Ensemble, solidifying its place as one of the most beloved shows in streaming today.
Martin Short also walked away with the award for Best Male Actor in a Comedy Series, giving even more momentum to the series heading into its highly anticipated fifth season.
What’s Next for the Cast?
While Selena Gomez is busy with her acting and music careers, her co-stars are equally in demand. Steve Martin has hinted that this could be one of his final acting roles, while Martin Short continues to receive critical acclaim.
As for Logan Lerman, his casting is seen as a perfect bridge to bring in a younger audience and fresh energy. Fans are already speculating about how his character might connect to Mabel or the central murder mystery.
When Will Season 5 Premiere?
There’s no official release date yet for Only Murders in the Building Season 5, but with filming underway, it’s likely to hit Hulu by late 2025 or early 2026.
Between A-list additions, returning favorites, and another twisty murder mystery, Only Murders in the Building Season 5 is shaping up to be its most exciting yet. Logan Lerman’s surprise role and Selena Gomez’s casual Instagram reveal have only added fuel to the fire.
