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

Reviews came in from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics called it pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a well-constructed script and committed performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt genuinely rewarding. The show's mood leans into tension and privilege and its cracks, which hit the mark with most viewers.

Most people in the audience liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was a step too far. That debate picked up some traction on social media following the premiere.
