Blending the light-heartedness of a sitcom with the polished airs of prestige TV, The Residence
on Netflix captures attention with its charming mix of humor and gripping storytelling. Created by Shonda Rhimes and led by writer Paul William Davies, the whodunit invites viewers into a world of intrigue and wit. Yet, after a lukewarm reception in its opening week, fans are left wondering—will the story continue, or is the fate of The Residence
sealed?
With no confirmation yet about The Residence
Season 2, fans are left in suspense, eagerly wondering season 2 announcement.
What are the chances for a season 2 of The Residence?
Paul William Davies, the creator of The Residence
, has expressed his desire for a second season. In an interview with TVLine
, he shared his hope to continue exploring the story, especially Cordelia’s character, saying “I really do think there’s more story to tell”
. However, despite his enthusiasm, The Residence’s
performance in the top 10 after its first two weeks has raised concerns. It seems unlikely that the show will get renewed, as early reception and viewership have not met expectations.

In its second week, The Residence
secured the #2 spot on Netflix’s charts, with viewership rising from 6.4M in week one to 8.8M in week two—a nearly 40% increase. While this growth seems promising, when compared to other shows that have been renewed or canceled, The
Residence
may be in jeopardy, hovering near a critical viewership threshold, suggesting uncertain future prospects. Additionally, the show was overshadowed by Adolescence,
drawing less attention in comparison, which further complicates its future.
It is not the first time a show has been overshadowed, but the Adolescence
‘s
release has proven to be a massive hit, leaving The Residence
struggling to capture the same level of attention.
Adolescence achieves unprecedented success on Netflix
In its initial four days, Adolescence
exploded onto Netflix with an impressive
24.3 million views. By the week of March 17-23, the series continued its dominance, amassing an additional 42 million views, bringing its total to 66.3 million within just 11 days. This milestone surpasses any other Netflix limited series’ two-week viewership record, solidifying Adolescence
as a record-breaking success. The gripping UK crime drama has captured an unparalleled level of attention in a remarkably short period.

While it has also amassed the largest audiences for any TV show in Britain
However, the third episode was an absolute masterclass

The second most popular series of the week, The Residence
, garnered 6.4 million views in its first four days. When compared to Obliterated
, another show with a similar budget and one of the most-watched cancellations, The Residence
seems to be following a similar trajectory. For now, a season 2 renewal remains uncertain, and the show’s future is still up in the air, with no official confirmation yet.
