Taking to her Instagram Stories, Gomez shared a playful video featuring herself and Streep, cheekily referencing The Devil Wears Prada. In the clip, Gomez turns the camera on herself and says, “So you’re coming back for Season 5?” before flipping the lens to Meryl. Channeling her iconic Miranda Priestly attitude, Streep begins to reply in Anne Hathaway’s style from the 2006 film, only for Selena to interrupt her mid-sentence with, “No, no, that wasn’t a question.”

Hulu also shared the video with the caption, “Gird your loins, Meryl is returning for Season 5! That’s all. #OMITB.” Naturally, fans exploded with excitement over the announcement. Comments poured in across social media, with fans exclaiming, “Season 5 babyyyy!!! Epic!!! I’m so ready,” and “Only Divas in the Building.” One fan added, “I love how Selena references Meryl’s iconic line from Devil Wears Prada and Meryl rolls her eyes. They are both fab. Can’t wait.”

Streep joined Only Murders in the Building in Season 3, portraying Loretta Durkin, a struggling actress and love interest to Martin Short’s character, Oliver Putnam. She reprised her role in Season 4 and is now confirmed for Season 5, much to fans’ delight.

The acclaimed series stars Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora, Martin Short as Oliver Putnam, and Steve Martin as Charles-Haden Savage—three unlikely friends who become amateur sleuths and true crime podcasters. After premiering in August 2021, the show quickly became a fan favorite, with each season unraveling a new murder mystery within the walls of their quirky New York apartment building.

Season 4 premiered in August last year and was renewed shortly after in September. With Meryl Streep officially on board again, Season 5 promises to be another thrilling and star-studded ride.
