Uzo Aduba to Lead Shondaland Series ‘The Residence’ at Netflix
Variety reports that Uzo Aduba is set to star in the upcoming Shondaland series “The Residence” at Netflix.
The series was originally picked up at the streaming service in March 2022. It is described as a comedic murder mystery set at The White House. It is inspired by Kate Andersen Brower’s book “The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House.”
The official logline states, “132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous State Dinner. ‘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.”
Aduba will star as Cordelia Cupp, a consulting detective for the Metropolitan Police Department. Cupp is further described as “an astute observer of human behavior, with a distinctive and – to some, unsettling – conversational style.”
