Exclusive: Randall Park has been cast as a series regular and Spencer Garrett is set to recur opposite Uzo Aduba in Netflix’s Shondaland murder-mystery drama The Residence, from writer Paul William Davies.
Using Kate Andersen Brower’s book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House as a jumping off point, the eight-episode series is described as “a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and back stairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion.” Its premise: 132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective (Aduba). One disastrous State Dinner.
Park will play FBI Special Agent Edwin Park, and Garrett will recur as FBI Director Wally Glick.
In addition to Aduba, they join previously announced cast including Andre Braugher, Susan Kelechi Watson, Ken Marino, Jason Lee, Bronson Pinchot, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Edwina Findley, Molly Griggs, Al Mitchell, Dan Perrault and Mary Wiseman.

“I’m not the manager and I don’t get paid enough for this sh*t!”
Intercutting its opening titles with the loading of a gun, A Clear Shot immediately hooks you in with its projected intensity. To top things off? None other than the routine, yet always chilling, “Based on a true story.” The terrifying thing here, however, is that the true story here is the tragic 1991 Sacramento hostage crisis, the largest hostage siege negotiation ever attempted in the United States.
