Luke Evans headlines The Party, a psychological thriller that started on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series explores 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 tight script and strong performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt genuinely rewarding. The show's tone 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 a step too far. That discussion picked up some traction on social media following the premiere.
