Netflix had a winning card in The Residence, a quirky murder mystery set in the White House that hooked millions soon after its release in March. With an 85% Rotten Tomatoes score and a steady run in the global top 10 list, the show looked like a safe bet for another season. It pulled in over 177 million viewing hours and brought together a strong cast led by Uzo Aduba, featuring names like Kylie Minogue, Giancarlo Esposito and Molly Griggs.

Netflix Canceled The Residence Despite Solid Ratings

The Residence quickly grasped the attention of the viewers and kept them hooked to the series, thanks to its sharp turns, a dead body, a chaotic state dinner and an eccentric detective navigating a maze of suspects. According to IMDb, the show is a unique mix of upstairs-downstairs politics, tension and fast-paced twists that helped it stand out from Netflix’s recent line-up of sequel-heavy or overly stylized shows.

However, despite the buzz, Netflix dropped the axe. As per The Mirror, The Residence won’t return along with Pulse, a medical drama that debuted the same season.
