Actress, singer and filmmaker Selena Gomez will appear in Season Two of Apple TV+’s Dear…, debuting worldwide on March 4.

Inspired by Apple’s Dear Apple spots, Dear… spotlights today’s iconic figures in society using letters written by those whose lives have been changed through their work. “By reading these letters, each influential figure learns how they have unknowingly impacted others and gains new insight into how their work has made a unique contribution to the global community,” claimed streamer in a press statement.

Gomez will join a roster of personalities like the late fashion icon Andre Leon Talley, Oscar-winning actors Viola Davis and Jane Fonda, Nobel Peace Prize recipient Malala Yousafzai, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay, Primetime Emmy Award-winning and Golden Globe-nominated actor Billy Porter, multiple-Golden Globe-winning actress Sandra Oh, basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton.

Texas-born Gomez is one of today’s most recognizable pop stars both as an actress and singer. She started her acting career on the PBS children’s show Barney & Friends in the early 2000s and later rose to prominence for her role in the Disney Channel TV series Wizards of Waverly Place. She has been featured in dozens of TV and film projects, including the Horton Hears a Who!, Princess Protection Program, Monte Carlo, Spring Breakers, Hotel Transylvania, Behaving Badly and The Fundamentals of Caring. She can currently be seen in HBO Max’s cooking show Selena + Chef and Hulu’s mystery/comedy series Only Murders in the Building. 

As a singer, Gomez has reportedly sold over seven million records as part of her band Selena Gomez & the Scene and as a solo artist putting out a total of six albums including a 2021 Spanish-language EP titled Revelación, which earned her a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album. She has placed 37 songs on the US Billboard Hot 100, including a number-one single and 8 top tens. Her hits include “Come & Get It,” “Lose You to Love Me” and and the Spanish-language “999” with Colombian, Latin Grammy-winner singer Camilo. Three of her songs have been played more than one billion times on Spotify, “Wolves”, the bilingual “Taki Taki” with Ozuna and Cardi B and “It Ain’t Me” with Norwegian DJ Kygo.  

The first season of Dear… featured Lin-Manuel Miranda, Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem, Spike Lee, Yara Shahidi, Stevie Wonder, Aly Raisman, Misty Copeland, Big Bird and others. 

Dear… is executive produced by Emmy and Peabody Award winner R.J. Cutler alongside Todd Lubin, Jay Peterson, Jane Cha and Lyle Gamm. Matador Content produces the series for Apple.
