Luke Evans leads The Party, a psychological thriller that started 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 well-constructed script and convincing performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt genuinely rewarding. The show's mood leans into tension and privilege and its cracks, which hit the mark with most viewers.

Most people watching liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was not needed. That debate picked up some traction on social media once the opening episode aired.
