Netflix has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original drama series The Residence starring Uzo Aduba and Randall Park.
All 8 episodes of the first season will be available on Thursday, March 20.
The screwball whodunnit series is set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world's most famous mansion. Aduba stars as Cordelia Cupp, a consulting detective for the Metropolitan Police Department. Known for her wry humor, relentless pursuit of truth, and sharp eye for human behavior, Cupp is the most sought-after detective in the world - and an avid birder to boot. Joining her is Park as Special Agent Edwin Park of the FBI, who is tasked with partnering with Cupp during a high-stakes State Dinner. While Park harbors skepticism about Cupp's unconventional methods, their dynamic promises to be as intriguing as the mystery they seek to unravel.
In addition to Aduba and Park, the drama stars Giancarlo Esposito, Edwina Findley, Molly Griggs, Jason Lee, Ken Marino, Al Mitchell, Dan Perrault, Bronson Pinchot, Julieth Restrepo, Mel Rodriguez, Susan Kelechi Watson, Isiah Whitlock Jr. and Mary Wiseman.
Guest stars include Eliza Coupe, Jane Curtin, Paul Fitzgerald, Barrett Foa, Al Franken, Spencer Garrett, Taran Killam, Julian McMahon, Kylie Minogue, Matt Oberg and Brett Tucker.
Paul William Davies developed the drama inspired by the novel by Kate Andersen Brower. He executive produces with Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers. Shondaland produces in association with Netflix.
