Murder-mystery series "The Residence", starring Uzo Aduba, premiered just a week after the debut of Netflix’s "Adolescence" and got overshadowed on the platform by the cultural phenomenon that the limited series became, dominating the viewership charts and social conversation for weeks and drawing massive audiences that catapulted it to #2 on Netflix’s Most Popular TV (English) list.

That, coupled with "The Residence‘s" high cost, made a renewal a tough proposition.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Why Netflix Just Cancelled Shonda Rhimes' Thrilling New Mystery Show After Only 8 Episodes (https://screenrant.com/the-residence-netflix-cancelled-reason/)

Though The Residence (https://screenrant.com/db/tv-show/the-residence/) could have been a brilliant anthology series, Netflix has cancelled Shonda Rhimes' latest mystery show. Why did it get the axe?

The Residence's cancelation is a bummer, but it was too costly with its 132-room White House set and its season finale was flawed. (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/why-was-the-residence-canceled-by-netflix-1236306024/)
