Before becoming well-known for her portrayal of Alex Russo on Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place,” the multi-talented Selena Gomez started her acting career as a child actor on “Barney & Friends.” She later made appearances on the big screen after delivering outstanding on-screen performances in films such as “Ramona and Beezus,” “Monte Carlo,” “Spring Breakers,” “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising,” and “The Dead Don’t Die.”

With the HBO Max cooking series “Selena + Chef” and the murder mystery series “Only Murders in the Building,” Selena returned to television. For the latter, she was nominated for a Golden Globe and received critical acclaim. She is still working on new film projects in addition to new music, which has our readers excited to find out more.

1. Only Murders in the Building Season 5 (September 9, 2025)

Hulu has renewed “Only Murders in the Building” for a fifth season (10 episodes). Within ten days of Season 4’s August 27, 2024, premiere, it was renewed. Season 4 will conclude on October 29. We can be certain that the leads—Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez—will resume their activities even though we don’t know anything else about it.

Season 5 also features Keegan-Michael Key and Christoph Waltz. Meryl Streep, Melissa McCarthy, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Kumail Nanjiani, and Zach Galifianakis are among the other Season 4 cast members. When the first three episodes of the fifth season air on September 9, 2025, it remains to be seen if any of them will return. The trailer is available here.

2. Untitled Linda Ronstadt Biopic (TBA)

Pre-production is underway for an untitled movie that is based on the life of American country, rock ‘n’ roll, and Latin music icon Linda Ronstadt. David O. Russell (Three Kings, 1999; Silver Linings Playbook, 2012; American Hustle, 2013) is directing the movie, and Gomez is playing the role of musician. Ronstadt, an 11-time Grammy winner and Emmy winner, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“Heart Like a Wheel,” “Living in the USA,” and “Simple Dreams” are some of her best-selling albums. As of right now, no additional cast members have been disclosed. John Boylan, Ronstadt’s manager, and James Keach, who produced the 2019 documentary “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice,” are co-producing the movie. We await more information regarding production and release.

3. Spiral (TBA)

“Spiral,” an upcoming thriller drama film directed by Petra Collins, follows the journey of a former social media influencer whose physical addiction to social media causes her body to literally fall apart. In April 2021, it was revealed that Selena would play the lead role in the Drake-produced film. Collins and Selena first collaborated on Wonderland magazine in 2015, and the two have since collaborated on the 2017 music video for “Fetish.” There is currently no official release date for “Spiral,” which is still in the pre-production phase.

4. In the Shadow of the Mountain (TBA)

“In the Shadow of the Mountain” is a biographical drama film that is presently in pre-production and is based on Silvia Vásquez-Lavado’s 2022 eponymous memoir. It centers on Vásquez-Lavado’s life and journey as the first gay woman to ascend the Seven Summits, which are the highest mountains on each continent, including Mount Everest. Selena will play Vásquez-Lavado in the biopic, which will be produced by her July Moon Productions and directed by Elgin James.
