00:00If you thought Detective Cordelia Cupp was coming back for The Residents Season 2,
00:04Netflix just slammed the White House doors shut.
00:07What's up, everyone?
00:09If you've been binge-watching The Residents on Netflix,
00:12we need to talk because a lot of fans are searching for a Season 2 trailer,
00:16a release date, even Episode 1 details.
00:19And the reality is complicated.
00:21Here's the deal.
00:23The show's creator, Paul William Davies,
00:25had been teasing that he still had ideas for more Detective Cordelia Cupp adventures.
00:31And that's what got everyone excited.
00:33The big question was where the story could go next.
00:35Would Season 2 stay inside the White House for another high-society murder mystery?
00:40Or would Cordelia take her investigations to an entirely new location with a fresh cast of suspects?
00:46Season 1 actually wrapped things up pretty neatly.
00:48Chief Usher A.B. Winter's murder mystery got a full conclusion,
00:52with Lily Schumacher revealed as the killer.
00:54So, from a story standpoint, it wasn't a cliffhanger situation,
00:59but it absolutely felt like the kind of stylish, character-driven mystery series
01:04that could evolve into an ongoing detective franchise.
01:07And honestly, the ingredients were there.
01:10The show landed around an 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes,
01:14and it had Shondaland backing, yes, the powerhouse behind Bridgerton.
01:18Add to that, a seriously stacked ensemble.
01:21Emmy winner Uzo Aduba leading the charge.
01:24Plus names like Giancarlo Esposito and Randall Park.
01:28And multiple cast members had expressed interest in returning.
01:31So why are people saying Season 2 is dead?
01:34Because Netflix reportedly cancelled the series.
01:37Even with solid reviews and a talented cast,
01:40it didn't become a big enough breakout hit by Netflix standards.
01:43Right now, the streamer is clearly prioritizing global, franchise-level winners,
01:49and the residents didn't hit those internal targets.
01:52It's disappointing, because the show had real potential to turn Cordelia into Netflix's next iconic detective.
01:58Davies had more ideas.
02:00The cast wanted to continue.
02:01But Netflix's risk-versus-reward strategy won out.
02:05Now I want to hear from you.
02:06Should Netflix have given the residents another shot for Season 2?
02:10Drop your thoughts in the comments.
02:12And if you enjoyed Season 1, make sure it stays on your watch list.
