Uzo Aduba On Returning To Netflix With ‘The Residence’, Birding & Sherlock Ties As Randall Park Weighs In On Holmes Vs. Cordelia As Detectives

In 2012, Uzo Aduba came to Netflix a complete unknown. The role on the streamer’s Orange Is The New Black made her a star and a two-time Emmy winner. (She has since won a third Emmy for the FX limited series Mrs.

America.) In her first ongoing series since OITNB, Aduba headlines Netflix’s murder mystery The Residence which, like OITNB, mixes comedy and drama. (As Deadline reported exclusively last week, the hourlong series, originally announced as a drama, will be submitted as a comedy for Emmys.) “It feels like a homecoming, in some ways, coming back to Netflix on a series — the only place I’ve done a series — which is so amazing,” Aduba told Deadline in a joint interview with co-star Randall Park, clips from which you can watch throughout the post. “And to come back to another show that is top notch, by my opinion anyway, that has an incredible bench of talent that are also just amazing human beings, is wonderful.

It was a true joy making this show every single day, we had so much fun. We were invested in the story and in our characters..

I love playing with Randall. Every single day we got to work together, we had a blast.” Created by Paul William Davies, The Residence is described as a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House as one wildly eccentric detective, Cordelia Cupp (Aduba) is trying to solve a murder that occurs during a disastrous State Dinner.
