Starring Uzo Aduba and Randall Park, the Netflix screwball whodunnit, The Residence, is coming soon. See the official trailer here.

Today, Netflix and Shondaland have released the official trailer and new key art for their highly anticipated upcoming series The Residence. As part of the first teaser trailer, it was revealed the unfortunate murder victim is none other than White House Chief Usher A.B. Wynter (played by Giancarlo Esposito). The Residence is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House. Among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion. Uzo Aduba stars as Cordelia Cupp, a consulting detective for the Metropolitan Police Department. Known for her wry humour, relentless pursuit of truth, and sharp eye for human behaviour, Cupp is the most sought-after detective in the world. And an avid birder to boot.

Joining her is Randall Park as Special Agent Edwin Park of the FBI. He is tasked with partnering with Cupp during a high-stakes State Dinner. While Park harbours scepticism about Cupp’s unconventional methods, their dynamic promises to be as intriguing as the mystery they seek to unravel. Tune in on March 20th to witness the unfolding mystery and meet the suspects.
