Apple TV+ has revealed the trailer for the highly anticipated murder-mystery comedy series, The Afterparty, starring Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer, Jamie Demetriou, and Dave Franco. The eight-episode first season will launch globally on Friday, 28th January 2022 on Apple TV+ with three episodes, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday.
From Academy Award winners Chris Miller and Phil Lord, The Afterparty is a genre-defying series centered on a murder mystery at a high school reunion, with each episode exploring a different character’s account of the fateful evening in question, all through the lens of popular film genres and unique visuals to match the storyteller’s perspective.
Miller, who created and directed the series, serves as showrunner and is executive producing alongside Lord through the pair’s production banner, Lord Miller. Tony and Emmy-nominated writer, producer and performer Anthony King will also executive produce the series. Lord Miller’s SVP of Television Aubrey Lee is a producer on the series, which was produced for Apple by TriStar TV and Sony Pictures Television as part of Lord and Miller’s expansive five-year overall television deal.
The new Apple original comedy series will join a slate of critically lauded hit comedy series on Apple TV+ including Emmy Award-winning Ted Lasso, the Peabody Award-winning Dickinson, Mythic Quest, the Emmy Award-nominated Central Park, and recently added Acapulco and The Shrink Next Door.
Apple TV+ is available to watch across all your favorite screens.
