Luke Evans fronts The Party, a psychological thriller that started 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 sharp script and convincing performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt like a real pleasure. The show's atmosphere leans into tension and social unease, which connected with most viewers.

Most people who tuned in 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.
