In the fifth installment of “Only Murders in the Building,” Renée Zellweger is set to be another high-profile addition to the ensemble cast.
According to the official social media posts, the actress from Bridget Jones has been added to the cast that already includes Christoph Waltz and Keegan-Michael Key for the upcoming instalment of Hulu’s comedy-mystery series. This show follows a team of podcasters and amateur detectives.
The announcement was styled similar to the one for Avengers: Doomsday, where Renee Zellweger’s name was displayed on a chair in an empty studio, just like the roles of Waltz and Keys. However, it is still unclear what role Zellweger will play.
It’s clear that she’ll interact with the primary trio consisting of Charles-Haden Savage (performed by Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and Mabel Mora (portrayed by Selena Gomez). They will persist in their detective work, operating from the Arconia as their headquarters.
As filming begins for the fifth season in New York City, many enthusiastic fans express their joy over Zellweger’s role, with one fan on platform X posting excitedly: “BRIDGET JONES IN ‘ONLY MURDERS’?!?!? OH MY GOODNESS!
Another admirer expressed their feelings about being a Renée fan today by posting a GIF of her from Chicago. The official Only Murders account responded with enthusiasm: ‘It sure is fantastic, isn’t it marvelous? Don’t you think?’
As an enthusiastic admirer, I put forth a recommendation for Zellweger’s character: “I hope she taps into her Bridget Jones-esque accent.” Meanwhile, other fellow fans commented on the modern trend in casting announcements, saying: “It seems that chair reveals are about to become the latest fad.
Zellweger’s role in “Only Murders” follows on from the success of the latest Bridget Jones installment, titled “Mad About the Boy”.
In our critique of the romantic comedy, we commended the movie for its moving and heartfelt depiction of grief.
Only Murders in the Building streams on Hulu and Disney+.
