The Afterparty is back with another thrilling (plus hilarious) murder mystery. And this time, things get twee.
Created by Chris Miller and Phil Lord, The Afterparty is a comedy series that follows a homicide investigation, where every witness is a suspect.
Rather than leaning into whodunnit's more prevalent doom and gloom (à la Hercule Poirot), each episode of The Afterparty pays tribute to a different film genre to match each suspect's retelling of the murder. Some might imagine themselves in a film-noir, and others might see themselves in an episode of Bridgerton. Still, another might envision themselves as the star of a Wes Anderson romp. (A common fantasy!) The common thread? The killer is hiding amongst them.
While Season 1 of The Afterparty saw a high school reunion gone wrong, Season 2 sees a wedding gone deadly with the groom being murdered and all eyes pointing to the bride, her ex-lover, and more wacky guests.
Tiffany Haddish returns as Detective Danner along with Sam Richardson and Zoë Chao from Season 1. The new cast members includes John Cho, Paul Walter Hauser, Ken Jeong, Anna Konkle, Poppy Liu, Elizabeth Perkins, Jack Whitehall, Zach Woods, and Vivian Wu.
Season 2 of The Afterparty premieres July 12 on Apple TV+.
