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 rolled in from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics called 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 privilege and its cracks, which connected with most viewers.

Most people who tuned in liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was unnecessary. That back-and-forth picked up some traction on social media once the opening episode aired.
