Luke Evans leads The Party, a psychological thriller that arrived 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 tight script and committed performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt like a real pleasure. 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 a step too far. That discussion picked up some traction on social media after the first episode.
