For Netflix, it turned out to be a stroke of luck to get star producer Shonda Rhimes on board. The “Grey's Anatomy” inventor gave the streaming service the romantic super hit “Bridgerton”. Your new series will now be very different!
As part of the big deal that Netflix has completed with Shonda Rhimes, the “The Residence” series will come to the streaming service. For Netflix, Rhimes already produced “Bridgerton”, the spin-off series “Queen Charlotte: a Bridgerton story” and “Inventing Anna”, all of which were to be carried out. Her latest prank is now neither costume drama nor fraudster thriller, but sounds like replenishment for fans of “Knives Out” and the Hercule-Poirot stories.

But soon he will learn to appreciate his new colleague and that's a good thing, because the two are really not an easy task.

The shooting of “The Residence” had already started in 2023, Brauhher had turned some scenes. But then the production had to pause due to the large Hollywood double strike and during this time Brauight succumbed to his cancer.
