Luke Evans headlines The Party, a psychological thriller that arrived on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series covers 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 tight script and committed performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt like a real pleasure. The show's mood leans into tension and class friction, which hit the mark with most viewers.

Most people who tuned in 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 once the opening episode aired.
