Luke Evans headlines The Party, a psychological thriller that started on ITV on October 11, 2026. The series digs into 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 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 atmosphere leans into tension and social unease, 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 following the premiere.
