The singer is joining a huge ensemble cast. <\/p>
Kylie Minogue will play herself in an upcoming Netflix comedy-drama from Shonda Rhimes, the super-producer behind mega-hits Bridgerton<\/a> and Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Residence, led by Scandal and For The People writer Paul William Davies, is described as a \u201cscrewball whodunnit\u201d in which an \u201ceccentric\u201d detective is tasked with uncovering the culprit of a murder at a White House State Dinner.<\/p>\n Previously, Netflix announced that Orange is the New Black\u2019s Uzo Aduba and WandaVision<\/a>\u2018s Randall Park would be among the stars of the show, and a raft of additional names have since been added \u2013 with Minogue topping the list.<\/p>\n The singer might be seen providing entertainment to the dinner guests when the murder takes place, although that\u2019s entirely speculative at this point as plot details are few and far between.<\/p> The official synopsis reads: \u201c132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous State Dinner. The Residence is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world\u2019s most famous mansion.\u201d<\/p>\n Minogue takes acting roles relatively infrequently, with music being her top priority.
