An eccentric detective and a murder case with countless illustrious suspects: These are the ingredients of the new Whodunit comedy series The Residence, which has been streaming at Netflix since March 20, 2025. After only eight episodes, Cordelia Cupps (Uzo Aduba) investigation ended and the murder in the White House has been informed.
Here you will find all the important answers: Will there also be a sequel to The Residence and a new criminal case? And when could season 2 start at Netflix? The team behind the series is already revealing who would definitely return everything.
Will The Residence get a 2nd season at Netflix?
With Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte and Inventing Anna, series producer Shonda Rhimes has already celebrated three enormous streaming successes at Netflix. If The Residence arouses a similar interest, the chances are good that the crime series will continue. At the current time, Netflix has not yet officially commissioned season.

As a rule, the streaming service is waiting for a series performance within the first 91 days after starting before the final decided on an extension. In some cases it can also go faster. Both the number of calls and the longevity in the Netflix charts are decisive.
Although the first season of The Residence tells a self -contained story, the opportunities for a sequel with new murderous mysteries are limitless. The statements of the series creator and the stars already arouse hopes for a second season.
The Residence makers and stars want season 2 and teasing new settings
In conversation with Deadline, series creator Paul William Davies reveals that he is very interested in a sequel despite the outstanding extension. The Residence Season 2 would bring Cordelia and her FBI colleague Edwin (Randall Park) together again for a new case:
I love the relationship between Cordelia and Edwin. There are still many stories to tell about their adventures and about him. We will see what people think of the series, but I would lie if I said that I didn’t think much about it and have many ideas where the series could go.
The two main actors would also be present with another season. And if the residence star Uzo Aduba would go, the series would continue for a long time:
I love playing Cordelia. What I know with certainty is that the adventures and the cases will never stop. There will always be something in the world. In Edwin Park she found a fantastic partner and friend, and I want nothing more than that they continue to solve casesexplore and travel through the world.
The fact that her acting colleague Randall Park also mentions the possibility of a trip abroad abroad is perhaps already being understood as a speculative note that a new case Cupp and Park in Season 2 in another country could send. The series title itself already enables numerous options for new places of action.
In season 1, The Residence refers to the living area of the White House, but according to the series creator, there is also a statement Other residences that could become a murder location. The most obvious would be a US message abroad (including living area) or a seat of government who received a state banquet for US delegates this time. There are murder cases (and rare bird species) all over the world.
