The “Mayor of Canberra” is what viewers can hear when watching new Netflix White House murder mystery series The Residence.

In a clip shared on Netflix’s social media channels captioned Shout out to AUSTRALIA! the series’ protagonist Cordelia Cupp (played by Orange is the New Black actress Uzo Aduba), says “I’m trying to solve a murder and I’ve got the director of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), the Prime Minister of Australia and Kylie Minogue breathing down my neck.”

Kylie says “I know there’s a lot of grumbling, but not the Australians! I have sung Can’t Get You Out of My Head seven times.” She appears in 6 episodes of the 8-part mini series.

Later in the clip, Larry Dokes (played by Isiah Whitlock Jr.) is heard saying “I’ve just spent 10 minutes fending off a very drunk Mayor of Can-ber-ra.”

The premise of the show: A brilliant, eccentric detective must solve a murder in the White House residence — where the staff and guests at a state dinner are all suspects.

The mini-series is executive produced by Shonda Rhimes, who is also EP for some of the biggest shows in the world including Grey’s Anatomy, Bridgerton and How to Get Away with Murder.
