Eternals star Kumail Nanjiani has joined the cast of Only Murders in the Building season four at Hulu.

Nanjiani will appear in a recurring role that is mostly being kept under wraps but his character will be integral to the investigation, according to Variety.


The new season also features Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, and Molly Shannon with Meryl Streep, and the lead trio of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez set to reprise their roles.

Martin, John Hoffman, Short, and Gomez all executive produce Only Murders in the Building along with Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal. It was created by Martin and Hoffman for 20th Television Studio.

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
