Only Murders In The Building season 4’s trailer sees Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short starring with Eva Longoria and Melissa McCarthy

A new trailer for the fourth season of Only Murders in the Building dropped on Tuesday.

Charles (Steve Martin), Mabel (Selena Gomez) and Oliver (Martin Short) have gone from New York City to Hollywood to work on a movie about how their podcast was created. 

Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria and Zach Galifianakis will play the detective trio in the movie.

But the three pals experience several surprises once they land in Southern California. 

Also seen in the clip is Meryl Streep who is back in her old role, and new faces like Melissa McCarthy and Molly Shannon. 

There is a murder to solve as well, of course, as every season involves a murder the pals have to figure out. 

Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), who is Charles’ stunt double, has been killed.

But they think that the murder was meant for Charles, not Sazz. Now the three sleuths want to track down the killer.

Only Murders in the Building Season 4 premieres on Hulu on August 27.

Unlike previous seasons, episodes will air on a weekly basis rather than all at once.

In May the first teaser was shared for Only Murders In The Building.

Gomez as well as Martin and Short stepping out of an elevator inside their apartment building. 

The former Disney channel star – who portrays the character of Mabel – could be seen in a glittering, gold dress as she talked to both Steve (Charles) and also Martin (Oliver). 

‘So, what’s next podcast wise?’ she asked, with Martin replying with, ‘What we need, is a, hot fresh, dead body. Preferably, right here or very near to here.’ 

The scene then jumped to Lynch’s dead body after being killed – which occurred at the very end of the third season. 

‘Somewhere lay a sniper’s nest,’ Short could be heard saying in a different scene. ‘You know this is happening. We might as well just start,’ he told Steve. 

The clip then cut to Selena reading out a message she received on her phone. 

‘I just got an email that a Hollywood studio wants to make a movie about our podcast.’ 

Martin, who was sitting on the floor, excited stood up and exclaimed, ‘The pictures? Pack your bags b****es! We are going to the movies!’ 

Text on the screen appeared over different shots of Los Angeles and teased fans: ‘Get ready for the starriest season yet.’ 

A montage of Selena, Steve and Martin attempting to solve the murder mystery appeared during the trailer, such as Gomez looking through a dimly lit kitchen with her phone and a pig running down a hall. 

Another scene showed Steve calling out, ‘Hello Hollywood!’ while the trio stood through the sun roof of a sleek limo while being driven down a street lined with scenic palm trees as they ate what appeared to be In-N-Out. 

Towards the end of the trailer, Gomez, Martin and Short sat in a meeting with Hollywood executives, and The Pink Panther actor humorously began to negotiate payment with Molly Shannon. 

He wrote down a number on a piece of paper, and scooted the item towards Shannon who sat across from him. 

However, he was only was able to move it a few centimeters away from him, and pushed the paper farther, but succeeded in moving it just a short distance. 

Steve then stood up and bent halfway over the table to keep shoving it in Molly’s direction as Selena had an embarrassed look on her face while watching the humorous incident unfold. 

‘What we need is a number,’ Steve explained, and finally when Shannon retrieved the paper, she said out loud with a look of confusion, ‘It’s just a four.’ 

He nodded and said, ‘Four. Four hundred. Four thousand…million…,’ with Short chiming in to add, ‘Or five.’ 

The trailer came to end with Gomez defeatedly placing her head into her hand while letting out a sigh. 

In recent months, the actress along with Steve and Martin have been seen filming scenes in the Big Apple. 

Selena has also been keeping her fans and followers on Instagram updated by sharing a few behind-the-scenes snippets as she had a blast on set. 

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last year in October, the showrunner, John Hoffman, opened up about the fourth season as well as the main theme that the series will follow: ‘consequences.’ 

‘I think the idea of what you create is a thing you put out to the world, and sometimes you can’t be prepared for the repercussions of what potentially the world does with your thing, and how they feel about it,’ he stated. 

‘That’s a challenging line to walk, and sometimes you have to face it in that way,’ Hoffman continued. 

‘So, the podcast and everything else that’s happened, and what it all means, and what it could have been meaning all along. That’s a really interesting world to look at for these three who stepped in that way.’ 

Along with the trailer officially dropping on Tuesday, the premiere date was also revealed during Disney’s upfront presentation to advertisers in NYC, per The Hollywood Reporter. 

According to Deadline, Gomez later made an appearance on stage to reveal the title of the Wizards Of Waverly Place spin-off, which will be called: Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. 

She will be reuniting with some of her past co-stars from the hit Disney series, such as David Henrie – who played her brother, Justin Russo, in the show.
