"Selena and I have so much fun," Longoria, who resides in Spain with her family, told the outlet.

Longoria's infectious enthusiasm for the project highlights the chemistry and camaraderie that have become trademarks of the hit series. Her role in the upcoming season promises to bring a fresh wave of humor and excitement, further elevating the already stellar dynamic between the lead characters.

The show revolves around "three strangers who share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one." It has captivated audiences with its clever storytelling and brilliant performances. Adding Longoria to the mix will inject more energy and hilarity into the series.

This time, the group will uncover the death of Charles' stunt double, played by Jane Lynch. Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short's characters will be following a series of clues to unwrap the truth about the case, starting with a trip to Los Angeles, which seems to be a significant change from previous seasons, which took place in New York City.

Meryl Streep is set to return to play Loretta from season 3. She will join the cast in Los Angeles after her character was offered roles in two Hollywood productions. While Eva's role has not been revealed, a close source to the project described her character as an essential puzzle piece.

“Longoria’s character becomes integral to the twists and turns of this season’s investigation, sources close to production reveal,” Deadline reported. Apart from the star, Molly Shannon also joined Season 4 of the Hulu series, playing the role of a Los Angeles businesswoman involved in the case with the rest of the group.

Longoria is set to star in multiple projects this year, including the TV adaptation of Isabel Allende’s bestselling novel ‘The House of the Spirits,’ and the production of ‘Paola Santiago and the River of Tears,’ inspired by the legend of La Llorona.

As fans eagerly await the new season, Longoria's revelations provide a tantalizing glimpse into the fun-filled environment on set. Hulu and Disney revealed that the new season's first episode will be released on August 27, with subsequent episodes released weekly.
