Shondaland and Netflix just dropped the first teaser for their new chaotic, murder-filled masterpiece, The Residence, and it’s already giving “Clue but make it presidential.”
📅 Mark your calendars (or carve it into the Lincoln Memorial)—this scandalous whodunnit lands on Netflix March 20!
So, What’s the Tea? ☕
Imagine this: 132 rooms (yes, the White House is basically a giant Airbnb), 157 suspects (is anyone not a suspect at this point?), one very dead body, and one outrageously quirky detective trying to make sense of the absolute dumpster fire that is this State Dinner gone wrong. It’s upstairs, downstairs, backstairs—everywhere—and the White House staff is just trying to keep things together while someone is, you know… murdered.
Think Knives Out meets The West Wing, but with way more secrets, sass, and suspicious side-eyes.
The Cast? Stacked Like a Jenga Tower of Talent!🎭
The show is serving up some serious star power, featuring Uzo Aduba (our detective extraordinaire), Giancarlo Esposito, Randall Park, Susan Kelechi Watson, and even Kylie Minogue (because every mystery needs a little pop royalty). Plus, Jason Lee, Ken Marino, Bronson Pinchot, and a whole mansion’s worth of famous faces to keep us guessing.
🎥 Want a sneak peek? Watch the teaser—then start wildly speculating who did it (our money’s on the butler, the chef, or maybe even the First Lady’s emotional support peacock).
