Hollywood’s casting carousel never stops spinning, and this spring’s latest turn has tongues wagging across Tinseltown. Logan Lerman — that eternally fresh-faced charmer who first won our hearts as Percy Jackson — is stepping into the deliciously mysterious world of “Only Murders in the Building” for its fifth season. And honestly? The timing couldn’t be more perfect.
The Arconia’s about to get even more crowded. Lerman joins an already dazzling ensemble that’s somehow managed to snag both Renée Zellweger and Keegan-Michael Key. (Remember when this show was just a quirky little murder-mystery with Steve Martin? Look at her now.) Selena Gomez broke the news herself on Instagram, treating fans to some behind-the-scenes glimpses that sent social media into absolute meltdown mode.
“We’ve been sitting on this secret for about a week and a half,” showrunner John Hoffman confessed to TheWrap, practically bubbling over with excitement. Can’t blame him — with 49 Emmy nods under their belt, OMITB has become that rare lightning-in-a-bottle show that keeps finding new ways to electrify.
Speaking of coveted roles… while Lerman settles into his new digs at the Arconia, Hollywood’s favorite guessing game continues: Who’ll be the next James Bond? The rumor mill’s working overtime, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jack Lowden’s names being tossed around like martinis at a spy convention.
Poor Taylor-Johnson seems thoroughly shaken (not stirred) by the endless speculation. At the recent Fall Guy premiere, when yet another reporter brought up Bond, he shot back with an exasperated, “Are you sick of asking the question?” Somewhere, Daniel Craig is probably chuckling into his perfectly tailored Tom Ford.
The entertainment landscape of 2025 sure looks different from what we imagined. Remember when TV was considered film’s less glamorous cousin? Now look — streaming shows are snagging A-listers faster than a Marvel movie, and the Arconia’s got more star power than the Oscars’ front row.
Hoffman’s dropped some intriguing breadcrumbs about Season 5, hinting at storylines that’ll “hit on some very current things going on within New York.” Given the city’s recent crypto-art scandal and that wild business with the talking billboards in Times Square, there’s plenty of material to work with.
Production’s already humming along, having kicked off in March 2025. While we wait to see who’ll next step through the Arconia’s doors (or slide behind the wheel of that iconic Aston Martin), one thing’s crystal clear — whether it’s streaming or silver screen, the line between TV and film stardom has become delightfully blurry. And darling, we’re here for every fabulous minute of it.
