If you’re a fan of political thrillers with a dose of scandal, suspense, and behind-the-scenes intrigue, Netflix’s The Residence is your next must-watch obsession. Inspired by Kate Andersen Brower’s bestselling nonfiction book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House, this fictional series takes a sharp, stylish dive into a murder mystery set in the world’s most iconic home.

But this isn’t your typical West Wing drama.

In The Residence, a high-profile state dinner turns deadly when a murder shakes the White House to its core. Suddenly, the maids, chefs, florists, and staff who keep the place running are thrown into the center of a high-stakes investigation. With political power plays, buried secrets, and unexpected alliances, the show paints a thrilling picture of the lives lived behind the closed doors of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Led by a standout cast—including Uzo Aduba as the eccentric detective brought in to solve the crime—The Residence blends sharp writing, diverse characters, and a setting packed with tension and elegance. It’s part murder mystery, part political satire, and all drama. Think Knives Out meets Scandal with a side of Downton Abbey—but American and much more dangerous.

As fans dive into the show’s web of secrets and shifting allegiances, The Residence merchandise has become an unexpectedly fun way to flaunt your fascination with the series.

Here’s a look at some of the most popular The Residence-inspired merch:

• "Murder at 1600" graphic tees – A cheeky nod to the central mystery, styled in vintage political campaign fonts.

• Presidential china-style mugs – Designed like elegant White House tableware, but with hidden references to the show’s darker themes.

• "I Work Below the Stairs" tote bags – For fans who love the underdog staff characters who keep the show grounded (and spicy).

• Character quote stickers and pins – Uzo Aduba’s character already has some iconic one-liners that fans are immortalizing in fan art and merch.

• White House crime scene notebooks – For jotting down theories—or just keeping track of your own chaotic schedule in style.

While Netflix hasn’t yet launched an official merch line, creators on Etsy and Redbubble have stepped up, offering handmade designs that celebrate both the show’s suspenseful energy and its unique cast of characters. As the fanbase grows, you can expect even more limited-edition drops and fandom-inspired collectibles.

The Residence doesn’t just give viewers an insider’s look at the White House—it flips the script entirely. By centering the staff and showing how power operates from the ground up, it offers a compelling, often chilling perspective that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
