Who is in the cast of The Residence?

Aduba was the first cast member announced for The Residence. Her character, Cordelia, is a careful observer of human behavior with an eccentric and distinct conversational style that some may consider deeply unsettling.

Here’s who else will join the SAG Award-winning star in The Residence:

Andre Braugher (The Good Fight) as A.B. Wynter, White House chief usher

Edwina Findley (The Wire) as Sheila Cannon, White House butler

Molly Griggs (Dr. Death) as Lilly Schumacher, President Morgan’s social secretary

Jason Lee (My Name Is Earl ) as Tripp Morgan, President Morgan’s younger brother and a bit of a screwup

Ken Marino (Party Down) as Harry Hollinger, President Morgan’s oldest friend, closest advisor and most trusted confidant

Al Mitchell (Stranger Things) as Rollie Bridgewater, head butler/maître d’

Dan Perrault (Strays) as Colin Trask, head of the presidential detail for the Secret Service

Bronson Pinchot (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley) as Didier Gotthard, White House executive pastry chef

Susan Kelechi Watson (This Is Us) as Jasmine Haney, a young and rising White House assistant usher

Isiah Whitlock Jr. (Your Honor) as Larry Dokes, chief of police, Metropolitan Police Department

Mary Wiseman (Star Trek: Discovery) as Marvella, White House executive chef

Who is the creative team behind The Residence?

Rhimes is executive producer of The Residence, along with her creative partner Betsy Beers as part of their overall deal with Netflix. Scandal writer Paul William Davies is the series’ showrunner, as well as an EP. Liza Johnson, who’s set to direct the first four episodes of The Residence, also helmed the upcoming drama The Diplomat, along with Dead to Me and A Series of Unfortunate Events.

What happens in The Residence Season 1?

Cordelia is drawn into White House intrigue after one catastrophic state dinner. There she finds 132 rooms, 157 suspects – and one dead body. Described in the official logline as “a screwball whodunit,” The Residence explores the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs realms of the White House, shining a light on the eclectic staff of the famous presidential mansion.

Is The Residence based on a book?

The series uses Kate Andersen Brower’s The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House as a jumping off point. However, Brower’s book isn’t filled with corpses and detective work. Instead, showrunner Davies has created an all-new story inspired by the nonfiction book.
