Selena Gomez and Joey King stand together on the left side of the image. Selena is standing upright with straight brown hair, a white T-shirt under a yellow and beige cardigan, and blue jeans. Her shirt and pants are covered in messy blue and purple paint handprints. Joey has her arms wrapped around Selena’s waist from behind and she is sticking her face out from behind her with a huge smile on her face. The entire image has a hot pink background and the film’s title text is to the girls’ right.

Ramona and Beezus
In 2010, Selena brought her talent to the big screen in 20th Century Fox’s adaptation of Beverly Cleary’s hit series of novels, Ramona and Beezus.

Only Murders in the Building
One of the biggest breakout hits for Hulu in 2021, Only Murders in the Building brings Selena together with two comedy titans, Disney Legend Steve Martin and Martin Short, in a thrilling mystery comedy series. This unlikely threesome comes together to solve the murder of Tim Kono (Julian Cihi), a friend of Selena’s character, Mabel Mora. Documenting their process in a true crime podcast, Mabel, Charles (Steve), and Oliver (Martin) gain a dedicated listenership and bring peace to their historic apartment building, The Arconia, by bringing Kono’s killer to justice. Only Murders in the Building ended its equally entertaining second season this past summer and fans are ravenous for a third. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long to see the next installment, which will feature new characters like Paul Rudd’s Ben Glenroy, who appeared in the finale. You can stream Seasons 1 and 2 of Only Murders in the Building on Hulu.
