Only Murders in the Building (2012-present) is a mystery dramedy series on Hulu. A mismatched trio of tenants in New York’s Upper West Side Arconia building. Their love of true crime podcasts draws together aging actor Charles (Steve Martin), failed Broadway producer Oliver (Martin Short), and young artist Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez). Together they set out to solve a murder and create a podcast about their investigation.
Needless to say, much hijinks and comedy ensue. As they pursue criminals and unravel mysteries, we learn more about each character’s past and personal life. We learn that Mabel spent time in the building as a child and grew up with a group of kids her age exploring the building and terrorizing the residents. Her past is intertwined with the present-day murder, and she reconnects with her childhood friend Oscar (Aaron Dominguez). The two begin a romantic relationship at the end of the first season.
When the second season starts again, Mabel is single again, and the whole gang is sucked into another adventure. She runs into fellow artist and gallery owner Alice (Cara Delevigne), who encourages her to smash a statue for therapy before the two kiss.
Their relationship unfolds throughout the second season, but one thing is clear, Mabel is unapologetically and unconcernedly bi. Her buddies roll with it, and everyone is pretty unfazed by Mabel’s new girlfriend. If you want to know more about the bi second season, check out Bi.org’s four unicorn review.
