Luke Evans fronts The Party, a psychological thriller that arrived on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series explores politics, privilege, and class.

Reviews rolled in from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics labelled it pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a sharp script and convincing performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt joyous. The show's mood leans into tension and class friction, which hit the mark 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 debate picked up some traction on social media once the opening episode aired.
