Here’s a synopsis: 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.
Uzo will star as Cordelia Cupp, who is described as “a consulting detective for the Metropolitan Police Department. Wry, funny, relentless, intensely focused, supremely confident, an astute observer of human behavior, and a legendary birder, Cupp is the most sought-after detective in the world.”
Randall plays FBI Special Agent, Edwin Park, who is a “federal agent assigned to work alongside Detective Cordelia Cupp on the night of the State Dinner. Park is skeptical of Cupp’s unique investigative style. He’s our Watson.”

Wynter; Edwina Findley as Sheila Cannon; Molly Griggs as Lilly Schumacher; Jason Lee as Tripp Morgan; Ken Marino as Harry Hollinger; Al Mitchell as Rollie Bridgewater; Dan Perrault as Colin Trask; Bronson Pinchot as Didier Gotthard; Julieth Restrepo as Elsyie Chayle; Mel Rodriguez as Bruce Geller; Susan Kelechi Watson as Jasmine Haney; Isiah Whitlock Jr as Larry Dokes; and Mary Wiseman as Marvella.
