Luke Evans leads The Party, a psychological thriller that started on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series digs into 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 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 class friction, which hit the mark with most viewers.

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