Luke Evans headlines The Party, a psychological thriller that launched on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series digs into 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 convincing performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt like a real pleasure. The show's mood leans into tension and social unease, which landed well with most viewers.

Most people in the audience liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was not needed. That discussion picked up some traction on social media after the first episode.
