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 arrived from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics labelled it pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a well-constructed script and strong performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt joyous. The show's tone leans into tension and privilege and its cracks, which landed well with most viewers.

Most people in the audience 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.
