Luke Evans headlines 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 labelled it 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 joyous. The show's mood leans into tension and privilege and its cracks, which connected with most viewers.

Most people who tuned in liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was unnecessary. That debate picked up some traction on social media after the first episode.
