Luke Evans leads The Party, a psychological thriller that launched on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series digs into 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 sharp script and strong performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt like a real pleasure. The show's mood leans into tension and privilege and its cracks, which landed well 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 following the premiere.
