Fans Have a New Funny Title Idea for Only Murders in the Building After Renée Zellweger Cast
The award-winning show starring Selena Gomez has recently expanded its long list of celebrity guests, which fans might not be that fond of.
Hulu ’s hit show Only Murders in the Building continues its successful and star-studded run with an upcoming fifth season which, despite not coming to small screens anytime soon, has recently received its first major updates.
Led by Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, the series has been long adapting its episodes to the participation of a handful of big stars, with season 4 reaching the climax featuring Zach Galifianakis, Eugene Levy and Eva Longoria, apart from Meryl Streep who has had a recurring role since season 3.
As the show recently started its fifth season’s production, it has so far added four more big names to its cast; fans’ reaction, however, isn’t necessarily positive.
Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Adds 4 Big Stars, Including Renée Zellweger
With the upcoming instalment’s production kicked off this week, the hit series keeps its already common guest star streak as, according to Deadline, Bridget Jones ’s Diary’s star and two-time Oscar Winner Renée Zellweger has become the latest addition to Only Murders in the Building’s cast.

The actress isn’t the only prominent new face in the upcoming season though, not set to star alongside Christoph Waltz, Tea Leoni and Keegan-Michael Key; the details about their roles are currently under wraps.
Apart from the newcomers, the series’ future instalment will see the return of the leading cast and the previous season’s guest stars, including Meryl Streep, Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, Eva Longoria, Jane Lynch, Richard Kind, Melissa McCarthy, Kumail Nanjiani and Molly Shannon.

Casting more big stars for a movie or show has always been a trick that worked wonders with audiences, though it might not be the case for Only Murders in the Building’s fans.
“Nothing against Ms. Zellweger of course, but God I miss the vibes of season 1. All these casting announcements are doing nothing to reassure me”, Redditor ENTertaining_Jerk confessed in one of recently started discussions.
Another Redditor nicknamed Aquametria jokingly predicted that “the Pope could be announced as the next cast member and I won't even blink”.
Many other users also chimed in, including user TMac1088 who pointed out at the latest seasons’ lack of authenticity as well, saying that too many cameo roles taken by celebrities “didn't ruin it, but it did take away from it”.
Additionally, Redditor EveryOtherWave has come up with a new appropriate title for the series, suggesting it should now be named Only Celebrities In The Building.
