Hey there everyone, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News, and while everything
may not be what it seems in the age of the pandemic one thing appears to be returning
back to normal because Selena Gomez is returning back to television!
Did you get the Wizards of Waverly Place reference?
*Emile sings* “Everything is not what it seems.”
Ok let’s get to the story.
Selenators know that just recently Selena announced her very own cooking show while
in quarantine.
The new show is set to premiere on HBO Max and follow Selena in her home as she cooks
elaborate meals with top chefs in the industry.
In a statement about her new venture she said, “I don’t do anything I don’t want to,
of course, but life gives me so many different challenges, and I just really thought this
would be something light-hearted, because I was getting definitely down.
I know that there is a lot going on—and of course there’s more important things
going on—but this was an opportunity to make something that could make people smile.”
She added that this series isn’t a serious cooking show saying, “I hope you’re gonna
laugh because I look like a fool.
I wanted to do this simply because I love cooking, I just don’t know how to do it
all the time.”
GIRL, SAME!
Now, as many fans of Selena know she took a big break from Hollywood before coming back
into the spotlight after taking some much-needed time off to focus on her mental health.
Recently, Selena opened up about just how badly being in lockdown was affecting her
mental health.
Shortly after, it was revealed that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
She said, "It's not easy for anyone to be walking through what we're walking through.
It's not normal, and it's affecting people, specifically with mental health, and people
who could have never thought about things they're thinking about now.
And it's really confusing."
Back in April while on Miley Cyrus’ IG series “Bright Minded” she opened up about her
new diagnosis saying, "You know, I had gone to treatment a few times for anxiety and for
depression, and for other stuff that I had been struggling with.
Recently, I went to one of the best mental hospitals in America — McLean Hospital — and
I discussed that, after years of going through a lot of different things, I realized that
I was bipolar."
This big comeback was Selena’s first dip back into television since the end of her
fan-favorite series “Wizards of Waverly Place” back in 2012.
Selena then took the time to focus on her film and music career.
And now, it’s been revealed that our favorite Disney Channel alum has signed onto the new
Hulu original series, “Only Murders In The Building.”
The series “follows three strangers who share an obsession with true crime and suddenly
find themselves wrapped up in one.”
Selena will act alongside comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short!
It was made Twitter official after Sel responded to Steve saying “Sooo exciting to work with
the legends themselves.”
Martin Short has already spoken out saying that he is quote, "so proud to say that this
show is already one of the highlights of my career."
Head of Hulu Originals, Craig Erwich spoke out about the big announcement saying “I
heard the pitch on Wednesday, and it was the best hour I had all week.
It’s really special, surprisingly emotional.
It’s really modern and self-referential about podcasts and murders, it’s got some
great surprises.
When they pull this off, it’s going to be really special.”
Special indeed!
Now, Selena is also signed on to executive produce the series.
Fans online are already reeling over the exciting news with one fan writing on Twitter, “OMG
I’M FREAKING OUT.”
Someone else wrote, “I am so excited to see these three legends!”
And someone else chimed in, “I'm actually glad to see her back on the scene again.”
All I can say is that I for one am SO excited to see Selena return to the silver-screen.
Now, I don’t want to start any rumors or anything BUT it seems as though Selena may
have something else up her sleeve.
Over the weekend, both Selena and her former “Wizards of Waverly Place” co-star took
to their Instagram to share a VERY suspicious clip of the two of them appearing to be on
set.
The video showed David Henrie, who played Selena’s older brother in the show, hanging
out on either side of a green wall as they both appear to act mysterious in front of
the camera.
Fans in the comments absolutely lost their minds, myself included, at the thought of
our favorite Disney Channel show making a comeback.
One fan wrote, “Oohhhhhh, we want a new season of Wizards of Waverly Place.
Please.”
And another wrote, “NO STOP IM SPEECHLESS WHAT DOES IT MEAN!”
While we have literally no idea what these two wizards could have up their sleeves, we
do know that one thing is for sure IT’S ABOUT TIME.
Other Disney favorites have already been given the greenlight, with a few setbacks, to do
reboots including “That’s So Raven” which is currently airing on Disney Channel,
“Lizzie Mcguire” which has sadly halted production for the time being, and “The
Proud Family.”
Not trying to be dramatic or anything, but these Disney reboots could be the one thing
to single-handedly save 2020.
