Despite its early lead, Netflix is still vying for supremacy in the rapidly changing streaming market. The platform is committed to making 2025 a game-changer despite fierce competition and a roller coaster of setbacks. Netflix is preparing for a lineup that will be worth binge-watching, with high-stakes projects in the works and a dedication to providing unmissable material. And now, as the real White House sees its fair share of chaos—thanks to Donald Trump keeping headlines busier than ever—one of its most eagerly awaited shows is arriving at the perfect time to keep viewers riveted to their televisions.

Danger lurks in plain sight, secrets lurk behind every door, and whispers reverberate through the corridors. A fascinating new mystery is going to be revealed; are you brave enough to enter? 

This seven-episode mystery-comedy, The Residence, is set in the White House and follows Detective Cordelia Cupp as she navigates a chaotic state dinner that turns into a crime. She has a difficult job ahead with 132 rooms to search, 157 people under suspicion, and one crime to solve. 

The Residence is a fast-paced whodunit set within the White House, exploring the lives of its diverse staff. Developed by Paul William Davies, this Netflix series is based on Kate Andersen Brower's book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House and offers an exciting mix of suspense and crime.

The Residence will premiere on Netflix, globally on March 20, 2025. 

Starring Uzo Aduba and Randall Park, with Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers as executive producers, the series features a star-studded cast including Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kelechi Watson, Ken Marino, Jason Lee and Bronson Pinchot. As Netflix continues to expand its content empire, with an ambitious $18B budget for 2025, The Residence is just one of the many high-profile projects leading the charge.

Netflix has already rewritten the rules of entertainment, but 2025 is shaping up to be its most audacious leap yet. Think grander narratives, boundary-pushing productions, and a budget that screams ambition. So, what cinematic storm is Netflix brewing next?

With almost 18 billion dollars in cash set aside for programming in 2025, Netflix is getting ready for a historic year. At the 2025 Morgan Stanley Tech, Media and Telecom Conference, Chief Financial Officer Spencer Neumann reaffirmed the streaming giant's intention to keep going. According to Variety, he said, “We’re not anywhere near a ceiling,” emphasizing the enormous prospects that lie ahead. Netflix's unrelenting growth suggests that its zenith is still to come.

With an astounding 301.6 million paying members globally at the end of 2024, Netflix saw a significant increase over the year before. Even so, Netflix feels that its actual impact in the entertainment industry is just getting started, as only six per cent of its potential market has been reached and only 40 per cent of connected television households are using the service. With so much untapped potential, Netflix is far from its peak, setting the stage for even greater expansion in the years ahead.
