“Only Murders in the Building” star Selena Gomez announced in a social media post Tuesday that Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd will be joining the cast in the show’s third season.
“Hey guys, we’re on set. What are we shooting?” Gomez teased in the video while panning her phone to either side of her to show her co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short.
Gomez said the “gang is back,” panning over to Andrea Martin, who joined the show in season two.
“Could this honestly get any better?” Gomez said before turning her phone to reveal Rudd sitting at the end other end of the couch from the three main stars.
“Oh wait!” she cheered in feigned surprise.

“Well, I do think it could get a little bit better,” Rudd dead-panned before Streep popped her head up from behind the couch, asking the cast if they needed anything as if she were a production assistant.
“Just the tea that I asked for a half hour ago,” Short joked to the Oscar-winning actress.
The video ended with Gomez turning to her phone with a look of excited shock.
