Mabel has a new love interest in season two of "Only Murders in the Building."
Series showrunner and co-creator John Hoffman shared that Selena Gomez's character will meet Alice, an art gallery owner played by Cara Delevingne, who will help Mabel get "in touch with a side of herself she's been somewhat neglecting since the show began."
Hoffman is excited for the actresses to "bring the romance to life," telling Vanity Fair,
"It's a little sparky in all the right ways that makes you feel like, 'Oh, someone's opening someone's world.'"
He shared that Gomez and Delevingne's friendship behind the scenes added to their chemistry on screen, and that seeing them act together was "amazing."
Hoffman also warned that things will get "a little bit rough" when Alice meets Martin Short and Steve Martin's characters, who don't approve of her dating Mabel.
But Delevingne isn't the only addition to the season two cast. Amy Schumer will play a "slightly unbearable version of herself," taking up residence in the Arconia's penthouse, previously occupied in the first season by Sting.
Amy offers to turn Mabel, Charles and Oliver's podcast into series, hoping to star as "a feminist anti-hero version told from the perspective of Jan" (the season-one killer played by Amy Ryan). But before they can begin writing, they must clear their names of Bunny's (Jayne Houdyshell) murder.
Shirley MacLaine will play Bunny's grieving mother, a character Hoffman is keeping secret, as she's "integral" to this season's mystery.
Will Mabel prove her innocence? ...Is she innocent? Find out when season two of "Only Murders in the Building" premieres June 28 on Hulu.
