Netflix's 'The Residence' Captivates with White House Murder Mystery

The Shonda Rhimes-produced series blends humor and suspense, with discussions of a second season underway.

The eight-episode Netflix series, inspired by Kate Andersen Brower’s book, premiered on March 20, 2025, and explores a murder investigation within the White House.
Uzo Aduba stars as detective Cordelia Cupp, a sharp and unconventional investigator navigating 157 suspects and 132 rooms during a state dinner.
The show has been praised for its unique mix of humor, suspense, and character-driven storytelling, along with its diverse ensemble cast.
Production faced challenges following the death of Andre Braugher, originally cast as Chief Usher A. B. Wynter, with Giancarlo Esposito stepping into the role.
While Netflix has not confirmed a second season, the creator and cast have expressed interest in continuing the series, potentially exploring new settings and cases.
