“I’m old!” moans Selena Gomez, on the verge of laughter. “I’m going to be 29 tomorrow!” Gomez is spending the day before her birthday needling her castmates Steve Martin and Marti…
,” she is establishing just how grand the gap is. “Do you remember when you were 29, Steve?” Short asks.“Wondering if the Jerrys were going to win the war,” Short continues, invoking the nickname used for Germans in both World Wars.It’s a moment of levity for three stars who may be separated by decades but share a readiness to riff. Gomez, who’s been acting since childhood, calls herself a “sponge” around her co-stars, who’ve been cutting up since the 1970s. “I’ll just ask them random questions.
Erwich professes to be unruffled. “There’s going to be change in the future,” he says. “But I think we’re really well-positioned to navigate it. We have a massive content machine that will help us not just weather the storm but continue to be industry leaders that serve our viewers.” The new bonds help each break out of tired routines and out of their self-regard. “We’ve all been locked in our little workspaces, sheltering with our own core group of people,” says Fogelman. “And there’s been a lack of larger connection — even predating the pandemic.” Here, the worst sort of crime ends up breaking familiar patterns.

People often watch TV or turn to Hulu not based on a demographic but, quite frankly, based on a mood.
The door is open to more “Murders.” “Ultimately, it’s up to the creative team to lead the way for subsequent seasons,” Erwich says. “The bar is very high.” The cast is optimistic they’ll find another story: “As long as there is murder, we will have another story to tell,” says Martin. The actors’ general mood — speaking as the delta variant begins to spread stateside — is cautious but forward-looking. Outside the world of “Murders,” Martin and Short had been halfway through a U.K.
