Luke Evans fronts The Party, a psychological thriller that started on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series explores politics, privilege, and class.

Reviews arrived from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics called it pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a tight script and committed performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt joyous. The show's atmosphere leans into tension and social unease, which landed well with most viewers.

Most people in the audience liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was unnecessary. That back-and-forth picked up some traction on social media after the first episode.
