Giancarlo Esposito is taking over the male lead in Netflix’s Shondaland drama The Residence following the passing of Andre Braugher.
Braugher, who died Dec. 11 following a battle with lung cancer, was tapped last February to be the male lead on Netflix’s Shonda Rhimes drama The Residence, starring opposite Uzo Aduba. The White House murder-mystery started production before shutting down amid Hollywood’s dual strikes. Braugher had already completed filming a lot of his scenes on the series, which was scheduled to resume filming last month January. Esposito’s casting means the scenes Braugher had filmed will be reshot on the drama from showrunner Paul William Davies (Scandal), which has continued production amid the recasting.
Here’s the official logline for The Residence, per Netflix: “132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous State Dinner. The Residence is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs...

The entertainment world was recently dealt a heartbreaking blow with beloved actor Andre Braugher passing away unexpectedly at the age of 61. Braugher was best known for his roles on shows like "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." Before the actor's passing, he had been working on a new TV show for Netflix called "The Residence." It will now serve as the actor's final project. Much remains in flux, but we know quite a bit about the show already.
The eight-episode series hails from Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, with Paul William Davies on board as the writer and showrunner. It is based on Kate Andersen Brower's book "The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House," but interestingly, it's said that the show will only use the book as a jumping-off point, so it won't be an outright adaptation. According to a February report from Deadline,...

Shut down by the WGA strike months ago, Shondaland’s murder-mystery drama The Residence had been gearing up to resume production. On Tuesday, the Netflix series lost one of its stars, Emmy winner André Braugher, who died at the age of 61 after a brief illness.
The Residence, from executive producer/showrunner Paul William Davies and executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, shot four episodes of its eight-episode order before suspending filming during the early days of the writers strike more than six months ago.
The series had been slated to return to production Jan. 2, sources tell Deadline. In light of Braugher’s untimely death, it is unclear whether The Residence will keep that date or give the cast and crew more time to mourn while Netflix the producers mull how to continue without the actor. It also is too soon to speculate whether Braugher’s character will be written...

Using Kate Andersen Brower’s book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House as a jumping off point, the eight-episode series is described as “a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and back stairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion.” Its premise: 132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective (Aduba). One disastrous State Dinner.
Aduba will play Cordelia Cupp, a consulting detective for the Metropolitan Police Department. Cupp is an astute observer of human behavior, with a distinctive and – to some,...

Kate Andersen Brower’s Elizabeth Taylor: The Grit and Glamour of An Icon is billed as the first-ever authorized biography of the legendary actress, as her family and estate gave her access to Taylor’s private letters, photos and diaries.
What Brower found was new insight into Taylor’s later-in-life emergence as an influential activist, using her star power to help push forward legislation to address HIV and AIDS and, well ahead of much of the industry, her fame to raise money to combat the epidemic and assist patients.
The book is a bit of a departure for Brower, the author of The Residence, First Women, Team of Five and First in Line, all focused on the White House and the presidency. The Taylor biography grew out of conversations she had with John Warner, the former senator who was married to Taylor from 1976 to 1982, before he died last year. She...

One of actress Elizabeth Taylor’s diamonds was owned by the ex-wife of former Nazi war criminal Alfred Krupp.
Actor Richard Burton, who married and divorced the actress twice, bought the Asschercut stone for 305,000 in 1968, and it’s now been revealed that the diamond was nicknamed the Krupp as it was once owned by Vera Krupp, the former wife of Nazi war criminal Alfred Krupp, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
In extracts from Kate Andersen Brower’s book ‘Elizabeth Taylor: The Grit and Glamour of an Icon’, which is being serialised in The Times newspaper, Ward Landrigan, the head of Sotheby’s jewellery department, says: “After an auction I always took my staff over to the bar next door from our New York office, and we were sitting there having a drink and it came on the radio that Elizabeth Taylor had bought the diamond. I said, ‘Oh man, that’s so cool!

Shonda Rhimes is making a new White House drama. Shondaland’s newest series, The Residence, is officially in development at Netflix, the streaming service announced March 7. The Residence is a murder mystery from executive producer/showrunner Paul William Davies (For the People) and executive producers Rhimes and Betsy Beers. Both Rhimes and Davies have overall deals with Netflix. The series is based on Kate Andersen Brower’s book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House. Netflix and Shondaland acquired the rights to Brower’s book in 2018. The series will consist of eight episodes, and based on Netflix’s series description, it sounds like a mix of Downton Abbey and Clue. It said: “132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous State Dinner. The Residence is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of...

Responding to a recent CNN opinion column castigating First Lady Melania Trump’s job performance, the Flotus communications director has penned a defense of her actions.
Spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham complained of unfair coverage on Melania Trump after an opinion piece by Kate Andersen Brower on a recent Flotus interview with Sean Hannity. In the piece, Brower argued that Trump “doesn’t understand what it means to be first lady.”
Grisham said in her own CNN piece late Saturday that “Of course, absurdity abounds in the media’s coverage of our first lady. Reports focus on the trivial and superficial, rather than the deeper issues facing our country that the she has tirelessly worked to address.”
The piece went on to list examples of Melania Trump’s community outreach, including visits to Pittsburgh, Las Vegas and Parkland, Fla., to meet with shooting victims. She also cited visits with military personnel, and Trump’s “Be Best” campaign,...

Eleven months after she shook up the TV industry with her game-changing Netflix deal, Shonda Rhimes has unveiled a slate of eight series that she has put in development at the streaming giant via her Shondaland banner. The slate runs the gamut from dramas to comedy (Sunshine Scout) to documentary (Hot Chocolate Nutcracker), from contemporary U.S. to 1840 Mexican-ruled state of California (Pico & Sepulveda) to 1813 London (Bridgerton), with most scripted projects based on source material. That is a departure from Shondaland’s portfolio at ABC, which has consisted primarily of original concepts, including the company’s top series, Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, both created by Rhimes — and How To Get Away with Murder.
In Rhimes’ return to Washington and the White House where her Scandal was set, she is producing The Residence, based on Kate Andersen Brower’s 2016 nonfiction book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House,...
