Selena Gomez accidentally reveals Logan Lerman is joining ‘Only Murders in the Building’ season 5 cast

Fans of Only Murders in the Building got a surprise casting update thanks to star Selena Gomez. In an Instagram post shared on April 5, Gomez casually revealed a behind-the-scenes photo that appears to confirm a new cast member for Season 5 — actor Logan Lerman.
Gomez posted a few pictures to her Instagram with the caption “a few memories.” One of those photos included a group shot from the set of the hit Hulu series, where she was seen standing with co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin, along with new and returning cast members Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, and Logan Lerman. While Hulu hasn’t officially announced Lerman’s role, the photo strongly suggests he is part of the upcoming season’s ensemble.
According to FanSided, the show’s fifth season is already in production and is expected to deliver another exciting mystery. This time, the plot will revolve around the murder of The Arconia’s longtime doorman, Lester, who was found dead in the building’s fountain at the end of Season 4. The new season will also explore the mysterious disappearance of Nicky Caccimelio, who has connections to a crime family. Nicky’s wife, Sofia (played by Téa Leoni), appeared in the final moments of Season 4 asking the trio for help.
Season 5 will see the return of the show’s core cast — Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin — and introduce several high-profile new faces. It’s already been confirmed that Téa Leoni, Renée Zellweger, Keegan-Michael Key, and Christoph Waltz have joined the cast. Now, thanks to Gomez’s post, it looks like Logan Lerman is also part of the team.
Fans have already begun speculating about what role Lerman might play. One theory is that he could be the son of characters played by Zellweger or Waltz. In the photo, he’s positioned between the two, which has led to some creative guesses about a possible family connection.
There’s also curiosity about whether Lerman could be a new love interest for Gomez’s character, Mabel. Throughout the series, Mabel has had several romantic moments with people involved in her investigations, so the idea isn’t too far-fetched.
Even though there hasn’t been an official statement from Hulu about Lerman’s casting, fans are excited to see him return to television in such a beloved series. With the mystery surrounding Lester’s murder and the involvement of a crime family, Season 5 of Only Murders in the Building is shaping up to be another thrilling chapter.
