“The Residence” First Look At New Shondaland Political Mystery
Shondaland is bringing us a new, red-hot murder mystery: “The Residence“. Set to drop on March 20, 2025, this wild whodunit will have you hooked from the start. Imagine this: a State Dinner gone wrong, 132 rooms, 157 suspects, and a detective as eccentric as they come. It’s pure entertainment gold—and it’s all happening at the White House!
The cast is stacked with talent. Uzo Aduba stars as Detective Cordelia Cupp, a quirky, sharp investigator who’s also a legendary birder. Randall Park plays FBI agent Edwin Park, who’s skeptical of Cupp’s unconventional methods. Alongside them, expect appearances from Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kelechi Watson, Jason Lee, and more, plus guest stars like Jane Curtin and Kylie Minogue.
Shonda Rhimes is behind some of the biggest shows of the last twenty years from “Grey’s Anatomy and “Scandal” to “Bridgerton”, she is the mastermind behind many of our favorites.
“The Residence” is based on Kate Andersen Brower’s book, which gives us a peek into the lives of the White House staff. Think “Downton Abbey” meets Clue, with a Shondaland twist. The show promises complex characters, juicy drama, and the kind of unpredictable plotlines we love—plus all the scandal, secrets, and power plays you’d expect behind the scenes at the most famous mansion in the world.
“The Residence” is set to be the TV event of 2025, blending murder mystery with Shondaland drama in the most unexpected of settings: the White House.

She’s brilliant, quirky, and a legendary birder (yes, really), making her the kind of detective you won’t forget. Partnering with FBI agent Edwin Park (Randall Park), who’s not quite sure what to make of her unorthodox methods, the duo dives deep into a web of White House secrets.
With a star-studded ensemble, including Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kelechi Watson, and Jason Lee, “The Residence” feels like a who’s who of Hollywood’s best character actors.
