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

Reviews arrived from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics labelled it pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a sharp script and committed 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 hit the mark with most viewers.

Most people watching 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.
