The Residence 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Shonda Rhimes returns with a new Netflix series, this time transporting us back to the White House for a murder mystery.

Based on the book of the same name by Kate Anderson Brower, the new eight-episode series follows eccentric detective Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba) who is called to the White House to solve a murder that occurred during a state dinner.

Creator: Paul William Davies
Stars: Uzo Aduba, Barrett Foa, Edwina Findley

With the help of FBI Special Agent Edwin Park, played by Randall Park, star of "Always Be My Maybe," Cordelia embarks on a mission to discover who is responsible for the crime.

Netflix has shared a new sneak peek of the series, starring Uzo Aduba, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Kylie Minogue (yes, you read that right).

In the video, Cordelia converses with Police Chief Larry Dokes and asks him to "stop anyone from talking to me."

Dokes asks, "Anyone," to which she replies, "Most people. People in need. I don't have time."

"How about, say, Kylie Minogue?" Dokes asks, before the pop singer enters the kitchen.

The Residence cast includes Uzo Aduba, who stars as Detective Cordelia Cupp. Aduba is known for playing Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren in Orange Is the New Black.

Talking about her new role, she commented, "What makes Cordelia a part of Shondaland's roster of heroines is her strength, her candor, and her unapologetic nature. While other characters in The Residence might think the looming mystery is unsolvable, Cordelia sees a puzzle worth solving. This case is unsolvable for everyone except Cordelia Cupp."

The Residence introduces a brilliant detective sworn into the White House to solve a murder in which all the guests and staff at the state dinner are suspects.

The official synopsis reads: “132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous state dinner. The Residence is a zany whodunit set on the upper, lower, and back floors of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion.”

The Residence, written by Paul William Davies, best known for his work on Scandal with Rhimes, joins Shondaland’s ever-growing Netflix slate, which includes the hit period drama Bridgerton, its spin-off about Queen Charlotte, and Rhimes’ previously released miniseries, Inventing Anna.

“The Residence is, honestly, many things,” Davies said. "It's funny, suspenseful, witty, sometimes completely absurd, sometimes genuinely romantic. As a murder mystery, I think what truly makes it original and unique is Cordelia Cupp. She's simply special."

They're all vying for the same thing: critical acclaim, huge box office revenue, or a sudden surge in streaming subscribers thanks to established fandoms. But it's a long shot: Will they become a "Borderlands" movie flop or a "Last of Us" hit? Next month, Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Microsoft are going for box office gold with a different kind of game-to-movie adaptation: "A Minecraft Movie." Director: Jared Hess Writers: Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener Stars: Jennifer Coolidge, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers For the uninitiated, Microsoft-owned "Minecraft" is a sandbox game that immerses players in the Overworld, a whimsical dimension made up of blocky, box-like voxels.

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past. Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list. So, yes, when I watched The Hunting Wives, I completely understood why Netflix bought the rights to this show. What confuses me is, who is this series ...
