KEY POINTS

  • Selena Gomez was spotted filming "Only Murders in the Building" on Saturday
  • Gomez rocked an ivory sweater and tartan skirt smeared with fake blood on the set of the Hulu series
  • The "Rare" singer's character was being arrested in the scene along with Steve Martin's

Selena Gomez has already started filming her new project, and photos from the set of her new series have already teased what fans can expect.

In a new photo obtained by Entertainment Tonight, the "Rare" singer is wearing an ivory sweater and tartan skirt covered with fake blood while filming on the set of "Only Murders in the Building" on Saturday. In the picture, she is being escorted out of an apartment building, with several individuals playing officers surrounding her.

Gomez's character is being arrested alongside Steve Martin's character in the scene. In another set photo, the pair shared a smile and chatted after they finished the shot.

The dramatic, blood-soaked shoot is for the Hulu series that also stars Martin Short, Nathan Lane and Amy Ryan. It follows three strangers (Martin, Gomez and Short) who share an obsession with true crime and find themselves involved in one.

Martin and John Hoffman, writer and producer of HBO series "Looking" and Netflix's "Grace and Frankie," co-created and wrote the series. Martin serves as executive producer along with Short, Gomez, Jess Rosenthal and "This Is Us" creator Dan Fogelman.

Hulu first announced the series in January. Martin and Short have worked together on several projects in the past. They also co-starred in 1986's "Three Amigos" and 1991's "Father of the Bride."

The pair also co-headlined international comedy tours in 2016 which culminated in the 2018 Netflix comedy special "Steve Martin and Martin Short: An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life."

Gomez's addition to "Only Murders in the Building" marks her first regular role on TV since Disney Channel's "Wizards of Waverly Place." She played the role of Alex Russo on the series that ran for five years from 2007 to 2012.

This comes weeks after Gomez dropped an entirely Spanish album, titled "Revelación," which she has worked on for years. The EP included seven tracks, including "De Una Vez" and "Baila Conmigo."

Prior to the release of her latest album, Gomez hinted that she may soon be retiring from music and focusing on film and TV projects.

"It’s hard to keep doing music when people don’t necessarily take you seriously," Gomez told Vogue in her April 2021 cover story interview "I’ve had moments where I’ve been like, 'What’s the point? Why do I keep doing this?' 'Lose You to Love Me' I felt was the best song I’ve ever released, and for some people it still wasn’t enough."

Gomez added, "I think there are a lot of people who enjoy my music, and for that I’m so thankful, for that I keep going, but I think the next time I do an album it’ll be different. I want to give it one last try before I maybe retire music."
