If only the walls of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue could actually talk.

In the murder mystery comedy, The Residence, the hilarious comedy series has an eccentric detective solving a murder case at the White House, in which every staff worker and possibly a guest at a diplomatic dinner function is a suspect.

With hundreds of suspects, the police only have one night to uncover the mystery before the murderer escapes.

Here is the logline of The Residence on Netflix series:

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 famous mansion.

The series stars Uzo Aduba, Giancarlo Esposito, Edwina Findley, Molly Griggs, Jason Lee, Ken Marino, Al Mitchell, Randall Park, Dan Perrault, Bronson Pinchot, Julieth Restrepo, Mel Rodriguez, Susan Kelechi Watson, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Mary Wiseman.

The book inspired the series written by Kate Andersen Brower titled “The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House.”
