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 rolled in from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics called it pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a sharp 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 class friction, which connected 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 once the opening episode aired.
