Luke Evans leads The Party, a psychological thriller that launched 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 described it as pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a well-constructed script and strong performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt joyous. The show's tone leans into tension and privilege and its cracks, which landed well with most viewers.

Most people in the audience liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was not needed. That discussion picked up some traction on social media following the premiere.
