Another Project from Shondaland
The series is being written by a popular writer along with many additional writers. The Residence is said to be an upcoming record-breaking project from Shonda Rhimes. Because whenever she is up to something, it is bound to make its mark in television history.
That has happened not once or twice, but multiple times. Look at her previous projects: Grey’s Anatomy, Inventing Anna, Bridgerton, and now Bridgerton sequel.
Grey’s Anatomy
Grey’s Anatomy has become the longest-running medical drama with more than millions of fans across the world. It is all set to premiere its 19th season in the upcoming weeks. Along with that, Inventing Anna has been quite the record-breaking series on Netflix and is still on the most watched list.
Bridgerton
Talking about Bridgerton, it has been most favorite scripted show and after teaming up with Netflix, it got even more recognition. Since the release of the show, it needed not one but multiple sequel seasons.
Along with that, just after the first season, there were talks about multiple spin-off series of Bridgerton. And, that’s not all, we are now getting a Bridgerton sequel i.e. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
The Residence: Writer
Paul William Davies who happens to be one of the leading writers will be writing the script for The Residence. He is, shockingly, an attorney-turned-screenwriter and has been writing amazing screenplays.
He is not just the writer but also a showrunner along with Shonda Rhimes. You might be familiar with his other popular and appreciatable works such as Betrayal, Scandal, For the People, and many more.
