The excitement around the fifth season of Only Murders in the Building is heating up, especially with Renee Zellweger stepping into the spotlight with a striking new look!
What’s the Scoop?
- Renee showed off her vibrant new bright red hairstyle in a recent promotional clip for Only Murders in the Building.
- In this fifth season, the Bridget Jones star portrays a freshly minted billionaire.
- She first revealed this eye-catching transformation while filming in May.
Renee Zellweger gleefully sported her new bright red locks as part of the buzz surrounding the fifth episode of Only Murders in the Building, titled “Cuckoo Chicks,” which dives into a fun “ladies night” at the basement casino of Arconia. You can watch the promotional video shared by her co-star, Selena Gomez, on her Instagram stories.
The cute caption said: “Take a seat, we’ll deal you in,” along with the video post.
Fans got their first glimpse of Zellweger’s bold new hairstyle back in May while she was on set filming season five of OMITB. She plays the character Camila White, a billionaire who weaves into the-show’s intriguing plots. The promo also featured popular actors Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Dianne Wiest, alongside Zellweger and Gomez engaging in a game of blackjack.
OMITB co-creator John Hoffman commented on the impressive gathering of talents at the table: “It’s like witnessing an acting Mount Rushmore. There’s a rich history between these actresses, although some had never interacted before. One moment that stood out was when Dianne told Renee ‘I’ve always loved you,’ and Renee expressed how Dianne taught her the nuances of portraying vulnerability on screen. It was truly special to witness such interactions.”
Hoffman further noted how Renee and Meryl reunited after previously starring together in One True Thing back in 1998, and how Renee revisited her collaboration with Logan Lerman from My One and Only in 2009, framing this season as a remarkable reunion.
Earlier this spring, Zellweger was confirmed to be a new addition to the OMITB cast. In contrast, Selena Gomez reflected that the fourth season was their most thrilling year yet, integrating a new journey taking them to L.A. and diving into intriguing plot twists.
“Everything just fell into place so magically,” she shared with The Hollywood Reporter. “It was a real blast, and viewers are in for an exciting ride!”
