Brayden and Effie have a deadly secret at the start of Power Book II: Ghost‘s upcoming Season 3. And if you think what their business partner and friend Tariq doesn’t know can’t hurt them… have you seen this show?
“For Brayden and Effie, obviously it’s kind of weird, and kind of a little bit awkward, because they’re holding something from Tariq,” series star Michael Rainey Jr. tells TVLine in the video above. Meanwhile, he adds, his character is “oblivious” to the notion that Effie and Brayden were involved in the murder of Lauren, Tariq’s onetime girlfriend,...

The third season of the beloved cult favorite comedy series "Party Down" is finally upon us, and longtime fans are rejoicing. The new six-episode run sees most of the original cast returning, including Adam Scott, Ken Marino, Ryan Hansen, Martin Starr, Megan Mullally, and Jane Lynch.

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for the first episode of “Party Down” Season 3.]
Here’s some context for how long it’s been since “Party Down” went away: The last episode of the original run aired when “Iron Man 2” was still in theaters.
Now the show is back in a very different entertainment landscape, not just in how people watch things but what’s dominating the culture they’re a part of. Naturally, with the show coming back nearly 13 years after it disappeared off the Starz schedule, comic book movies are a running theme in Season 3. The first episode of the show’s reboot finds the old Party Down crew reunited at a party for Kyle (Ryan Hansen), recently cast as the newest member of an unnamed extended film universe. Throughout the season, characters toss out names of superhero movies ranging from the familiar (Megan Mullally was born to say the words “Guardians: Infinity Sticks”) to the bizarre (Jennifer Garner...

Starz’s cult comedy Party Down finally returned to screens with the premiere of its highly anticipated third season. But when the season opener kicked off, the catering crew was short one sizable leading character.
While actress Lizzy Caplan’s absence wasn’t a surprise (scheduling conflicts with FX’s Fleishman Is in Trouble and Paramount+’s upcoming Fatal Attraction prevented her from taking part), it did leave the question of how the series would write off the show’s aspiring and struggling actress/comedian Casey Klein. Just minutes into the premiere, Ron mentions how a twist of fate can change everything,...

Thirteen years later, “Party Down” is back in business. Season 3 features most of the iconic catering crew reuniting under unexpected circumstances, after they seemed to move onto bigger and better things when the second season ended in 2010. Creators John Enbom, Dan Etheridge and Paul Rudd are behind the return of the comedy, as are most of the original cast.
Lizzy Caplan, who played Casey Klein, won’t be returning this time around. Her character got a “Saturday Night Live” gig back in Season 2. From Adam Scott to Jane Lynch to Ken Marino to Martin Starr, many familiar faces will return to the fan-favorite comedy. Several newcomers like Jennifer Garner and James Marsden will spice up the show, along with some surprise special guest stars. Season 3 launches Friday, Feb. 24, with a whole new buffet of shenanigans, entanglements and more.

What would happen if “Glee” cutthroat cheer coach Sue Sylvester met ditzy “Party Down” actor Constance Carmell? Well, according to Jane Lynch, the performer behind both characters, the two would actually get along quite nicely.
“I think they’d be fast friends,” Lynch told Variety at the Season 3 premiere of “Party Down.” “Constance is not the smartest person in the world, but she’s confident in her own goodness. And she has great self-esteem, and deep down inside Sue Sylvester does not. They would be a great…good cop, bad cop. They could do a comic cop show, but I would have to play both characters, and it would be a lot more. Wouldn’t it be great, though?”
The original “Party Down” series, which debuted in 2009, depicts struggling actors working for a Los Angeles catering company as they await their big break. The reboot catches the stars a decade later,...

Everyone involved in the long-awaited Party Down season 3 experienced a moment in which they finally realized that this was happening … that Starz’ little-watched but much-loved comedy was really coming back to television after 12 years away.
For Henry Pollard actor and producer Adam Scott (Severance), that moment arrived in fall of 2021 when Starz provided the cast and crew with a greenlight to begin shooting.
“I was like ‘Oh my god, this is a real TV show again.'”
For showrunner John Enbom, it was when the studio opened up its checkbook.
“I think it became really real when we were able to open an office. Because when somebody actually writes a check, then it’s real.”
That moment for Ron Donald actor Ken Marino didn’t arrive until he was actually on set for the first day of shooting.
“We’ve been talking about this for a long time. At a...

Starz recently dropped a trailer for the highly anticipated cult-comedy TV revival Party Down. Much of the original cast returned for the revival, led by Adam Scott, who reprised his role as failed actor Henry Pollard. Of course, many of his old friends are along for the ride, as well as some new ones.

The first two seasons aired in 2009 and 2010 on Starz. The show features a cast of Hollywood hopefuls working for a Los Angeles catering team while pursuing their dreams. Season 3 kicks off ten years later, where a reunion allows fans to see which characters made it big and which didn’t. But it wouldn’t be a revival without lots of callbacks. And the trailer reveals a few.

When you become a fan of a TV show, it's fair to say that you want those involved to have successful careers. In fact, you probably don't want them to just succeed. You want your favorite stars to thrive, especially if that series that you love will not be continuing.
When "Arrested Development" ended in 2006 after three seasons, the cast went on to star in fan-favorite films and series such as "Juno," "Despicable Me," "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," "Archer," "Veep," and more. Following the end of "Community," the study group likewise branched out into a variety of productions. (Jim Rash even won an Oscar.) And the same thing happened to the stars of "Party Down" following its cancellation.
As the creators of all three of these shows would later find out, owing to the level of fame achieved by those involved, it's hard to bring their in-demand casts completely back together again.

In the age of revival television, it is still genuinely hard to believe that Starz is bringing the cult comedy favorite "Party Down" back for a long (long!) awaited third season, but it is indeed happening. As evidence of that, we have a brand new trailer for the new batch of episodes, which will be arriving via the premium cable channel next month. And yes, most of the original cast is back! Sadly, Lizzy Caplan isn't here as Casey Klein for another round of "will they, won't they" with Adam Scott's Henry Pollard. Be that as it may, it very much looks like the show folks like myself fell in love with. And in the third season...

All the cater-waiters of "Party Down" might not be having fun yet, but fans of the show can't wait for their return in the upcoming revival. The original series aired for only two seasons on Starz from 2009-2010. Watching these misanthropes bide their time working at the titular catering company while trying to find their big breaks in Hollywood is a true joy: The show is absolutely hysterical, with unforgettable characters and a surprising amount of heart. I've lost count of how many times I've watched those first two seasons.
Fans were crushed when the series got the axe so quickly, and there was talk of a "Party Down" film for a time, but sadly, that never materialized. Considering the fact that this cast has been super busy with other projects in the years since, it's pretty miraculous that they are able to don their pink bow ties once more.

After a few false starts over the years, Starz is finally back in the catering business thanks to a revival of "Party Down." The short-lived but beloved series created by Rob Thomas, John Enbom, Dan Etheridge, and Paul Rudd received a six-episode order back in November 2021. And in addition to all the original series creators returning, nearly the entire cast including Adam Scott, Ken Marino, Jane Lynch, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen, and Megan Mullally are set to reprise their roles. Lizzy Caplan, who played aspiring actress and comedienne Casey Klein, is the only hold out due to scheduling conflicts with her...

Fans of Party Down, the Starz cult hit that last aired almost 10 years ago, got news they have long been hoping to hear: a show reunion may happen in the not too distant future.
“I’m thinking the next year or two we’ll explore a way to get the gang back together again,” co-creator and producer Dan Etheridge revealed toward the end of a Party Down panel discussion Sunday at Vulture Festival La. The full cast was on hand for the event, including actress Megan Mullally, who joined Party Down in the show’s second season.
“I want to do it again,” she insisted. “Can’t we do the show again?” She called performing on the show the most fun she’s had as an actor, a sentiment echoed by other cast members.
“It was truly a blessed time. It was truly the most fun I had doing a job,...
