Luke Evans fronts The Party, a psychological thriller that launched on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series covers politics, privilege, and class.
Reviews rolled in from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics labelled it pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a tight script and convincing performances across the cast.
Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt joyous. The show's atmosphere leans into tension and class friction, which connected with most viewers.
Most people watching liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was not needed. That back-and-forth picked up some traction on social media once the opening episode aired.
