Where was The Residence filmed? Filming locations of the new Netflix series starring Uzo Aduba
The Residence is set in the White House, and where was the series filmed? Here are the film locations from the Netflix show.

Murder mystery and White House – that's the mix that Scandal writer and producer Paul William Davies has put together for Netflix with Shondaland. This team will serve you the most disastrous (and deadly) state dinner in history, and the murder mystery will have to be solved by the ironic detective Cordelia Cupp, played by Uzo Aduba.
Where was Netflix's The Residence filmed?
The new series starring Uzo Aduba is set in the White House. It's where most of the production's events take place, so we'll spend a lot of time in the rooms of a key US government building. But we don't see the actual house on screen. So what replaces it? It is not any real building. The interiors were recreated in a studio in Los Angeles, Califonia, USA.
Shots of the White House exterior, of course, were filmed in Washington D.C. itself.
When and at what time will Netflix's The Residence premiere?
A new series from Shondaland will debut on Netflix. The Residence is scheduled to premiere on March 20, 2025 at 12:00 a.m. PT, as this is the time when new productions are added to Netflix's library.

The Residence trailer
- “Too cerebral and over-reliant on technique.” Winner of 3 Oscars was Katharine Hepburn's “least favourite actress onscreen”
- “I was crying with laughter.” Christian Bale called “one of his tops” the 28-year-old film, which has only 16% on Rotten Tomatoes
- “Sort of asinine, sort of cliched, sort of unnecessary.” Morgan Freeman refused to film The Shawshank Redemption scene he described as “overkill”
- It went unnoticed, but Simon Helberg from The Big Bang Theory 3 years earlier played almost the same role in the Friends universe
- “How could you do something so fun and be so miserable.” Tom Hardy hated making this movie and has no intention of starring in a similar one
