Luke Evans headlines The Party, a psychological thriller that launched 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 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 joyous. The show's tone leans into tension and social unease, which hit the mark with most viewers.

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