Luke Evans headlines The Party, a psychological thriller that arrived 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 described it as pacey, seductive, and well-cast, pointing to a sharp 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 privilege and its cracks, which landed well with most viewers.
Most people who tuned in liked it. Some pushed back online, saying at least one scene was unnecessary. That debate picked up some traction on social media following the premiere.
