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 labelled it pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a tight script and strong 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 hit the mark with most viewers.

Most people watching liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was a step too far. That discussion picked up some traction on social media after the first episode.
