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

Reviews rolled in from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics called it 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 hit the mark with most viewers.

Most people watching liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was unnecessary. That discussion picked up some traction on social media following the premiere.
