Luke Evans leads 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 described it as pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a well-constructed 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 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 debate picked up some traction on social media after the first episode.
