The Residence Teaser Trailer: Giancarlo Esposito & Jason Lee Star in White House Murder Mystery

Netflix has unveiled the teaser trailer for The Residence, an upcoming whodunnit series starring Uzo Aduba (Orange Is the New Black), Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul), and Jason Lee (My Name Is Earl).

Set to premiere on the streamer on March 20, 2025, The Residence is created by former Scandal writer and producer Paul William Davies, with Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes serving as one of the executive producers.

What happens in The Residence teaser trailer?

The newly released teaser trailer opens with Aduba’s Cordelia Cupp, a Metropolitan Police Department consultant who’s sure a murderer is just around the corner after a White House chief usher’s dead body (portrayed by Esposito) was found during a state dinner. Though dubbed “the best detective in the world,” the investigation proves to be difficult for Cordelia as she roams around 132 rooms while investigating a total of 157 suspects.

“This could be someone from the staff. Could be a guest — could be anybody,” Aduba’s Cordelia suggests.

“The Residence is a screwball whodunit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion. Amid all the twists and turns, detective Cordelia Cupp partners with skeptical FBI special agent Edwin Park (Randall Park) to untangle an intriguing (and deadly) mystery. As the teaser reveals, the victim of the murder is A.B. Wynter (Esposito), the White House chief usher — and everyone is a suspect,” the synopsis reads.

The Residence also stars Al Franken, Andrew Friedman, Julian McMahon, Edwina Findley, Molly Griggs, Ken Marino, Al Mitchell, Dan Perrault, Bronson Pinchot, Susan Kelechi Watson, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Mary Wiseman, Spencer Garrett, Jane Curtin, James Babson, Eliza Coupe, Izzy Diaz, Paul Fitzgerald, and more.

The Residence hits Netflix on March 20.
