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

Reviews came in from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics labelled it pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a well-constructed 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 landed well with most viewers.

Most people in the audience liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was unnecessary. That discussion picked up some traction on social media following the premiere.
