Luke Evans leads The Party, a psychological thriller that arrived 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 described it as pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a sharp 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 class friction, which connected with most viewers.

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