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

Reviews came in from the Guardian, Telegraph, Radio Times, and the Independent. Critics described it as pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a well-constructed script and convincing performances across the cast.

Evans told the BBC that filming close to home felt genuinely rewarding. The show's mood leans into tension and class friction, which landed well 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 after the first episode.
