Uzo Aduba Stars in Netflix's 'The Residence' Murder Mystery Series

Uzo Aduba stars as Detective Cordelia Cupp in Netflix's upcoming murder-mystery series The Residence, which premieres on March 20. The show, created by Paul William Davies and produced by Shondaland, is described as a screwball whodunit set in the White House during a disastrous state dinner. Aduba's character, an eccentric and perceptive investigator, is tasked with solving the murder of the chief usher amidst a cast of 157 suspects. The series blends comedy and drama and is anticipated to be submitted as a comedy for the Emmys. Aduba expressed excitement about returning to Netflix, noting the joy of working with a talented cast, including co-star Randall Park. The show is inspired by historical elements of the White House, with a unique twist derived from a game-like structure reminiscent of Clue.
