Get ready to channel your inner detective, because Netflix is bringing us a murder mystery that’s fancier than a state dinner but messier than a toddler with a spaghetti plate.
📢 The Residence is coming, people! And it’s not just any ol’ mystery—it’s a hilarious, scandalous, who-did-the-thing set inside The White House (yes, that one). Think Clue but with Secret Service, political drama, and probably way too many hidden snack stashes in the Oval Office.
What’s the Deal?
Netflix blessed us with the trailer for this chaotic masterpiece on February 19, and let’s just say—it looks juicier than a TMZ headline about a celebrity breakup. The official synopsis describes it as “a screwball whodunit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House”—translation: expect absolute mayhem from the people who run the world’s most famous mansion.
Who’s Running This Show?
Oh, just Shonda Freakin’ Rhimes. That’s right, the genius behind Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy is executive-producing this rollercoaster ride. So expect betrayal, shocking twists, and at least one moment that will make you question everyone you know. The film is based on the book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House by Kate Andersen Brower, but with Shonda at the wheel, you just know it’s gonna be extra.
Who’s in It?
Oh, just a ridiculously stacked cast that includes:
⭐ Uzo Aduba (who will absolutely steal the show)
⭐ Randall Park (the king of comedy)
⭐ Giancarlo Esposito (probably scheming)
⭐ Edwina Findley (gonna serve drama)
⭐ Jason Lee (yes, My Name Is Earl Jason Lee!)
⭐ Ken Marino (comedic chaos incoming)
⭐ A bunch of other incredibly talented people who will make you suspect everyone in the house—including the White House chef.
