Netflix's 'The Residence' Brings Murder Mystery to the White House

The Shondaland series blends sharp comedy, classic whodunit elements, and a meticulously recreated White House setting.

Inspired by Kate Andersen Brower's book, the series focuses on White House staff rather than political figures.
Uzo Aduba stars as detective Cordelia Cupp, channeling classic sleuths in a genre-bending investigation.
The show features a star-studded cast, including Giancarlo Esposito, Randall Park, and Kylie Minogue as herself.
Production overcame challenges like replacing the late Andre Braugher with Giancarlo Esposito as Chief Usher A. B. Wynter.
Discussions are ongoing about a potential second season, with showrunner Paul William Davies expressing interest in new cases for Cordelia Cupp.
