Luke Evans fronts The Party, a psychological thriller that launched on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series covers 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 sharp 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 social unease, which connected 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 back-and-forth picked up some traction on social media following the premiere.
