Season 1 of The Residence, Netflix's clever and suspenseful mystery series, captivated viewers with its engaging whodunit narrative set in the White House. However, a pressing question lingers—will a second season be produced?

Developed by Paul William Davies, The Residence follows Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba), a private consultant enlisted by the DC Metro Police to probe a murder that takes place during a prestigious State Dinner.

The series artfully combines classic mystery tropes with a contemporary screwball comedy approach, showcasing a talented ensemble cast. Since its debut in early 2025, the show has received favorable reviews, achieving an impressive 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with particular acclaim for Aduba’s portrayal of the eccentric and astute detective.

Will there be a Season 2?

While the murder mystery of Season 1 concludes satisfactorily, leaving little opportunity for an immediate sequel, the series has ignited discussions regarding a potential second season. As the final episode comes to an end, the show's creator, Paul William Davies, has hinted that he is already developing concepts for Season 2. “I have ideas, so I hope people respond to her and [the show], and then we can do it,” Davies remarked, conveying his enthusiasm for the show's prospects based on audience feedback.

It remains uncertain whether The Residence was originally designed as a limited series; however, due to its popularity and the captivating character of Cordelia Cupp, there is a possibility for the show to transition into an ongoing series. Similar to legendary detectives Hercule Poirot and Benoit Blanc, Cordelia could embark on solving new mysteries in each subsequent season.

Possible plot and cast for Season 2

Although Netflix has yet to announce a renewal, the concept of The Residence is well-suited for multiple seasons. The series could adopt an anthology style, akin to Only Murders in the Building, where each season introduces a new mystery—potentially set in a different iconic venue—while keeping Cordelia as the main character. The likelihood of a second season largely depends on robust viewership, as Netflix typically responds to audience interest in additional content when a show gains popularity.

Should The Residence be renewed, Uzo Aduba is expected to return as the tenacious and quirky detective. With the primary mystery of Season 1 resolved, the supporting cast may see changes, allowing for new prominent actors to join in upcoming episodes. Season 1 featured notable talents such as Randall Park and Giancarlo Esposito, and it is anticipated that the second season will continue to draw in high-profile guest stars.

While the storyline for the second season is still uncertain, one thing is clear—Cordelia Cupp will likely be back to tackle another significant case. Whether it involves a murder, a jewel theft, or another exciting investigation, The Residence has the potential to venture into new narratives beyond the White House. Fans are eager to discover where Cupp’s investigative prowess will lead her next, and Netflix's decision to renew the series will hinge on both viewer enthusiasm and solid ratings.

At this moment, The Residence Season 2 remains a possibility, but with its distinctive mix of mystery, humor, and an engaging lead, it is a show that has undoubtedly left audiences craving more.
