Luke Evans leads The Party, a psychological thriller that started on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series explores 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 genuinely rewarding. The show's tone leans into tension and privilege and its cracks, which hit the mark 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.
