If you have an event coming up that requires a top-notch catering service, you should call someone other than Party Down. While the gang at Party Down knows how to make a celebration enjoyable, they’re likely to cause chaos behind the scenes, resulting in shenanigans that could be hard to explain to your guests. Starz is ready to start the party today with a new Party Down revival trailer. The party begins on Friday, February 24, on the Starz app and other streaming platforms. The revival also leads a conga line to Starz for a linear debut on Friday, February 24, at 9 PM ET/PT.
The Party Down revival trailer is getting us pumped for six all-new episodes that take place ten years after the original series. Several Party Down catering crew members have moved on since the original series, but a mutual event unites them, and the band gets back together.
Adam Scott reprises his role as Henry Pollard, with original Party Down members Ken Marino, Jane Lynch, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen, and Megan Mullally returning. New cast members include Jennifer Garner, Tyrel Jackson Williams, Zoë Chao, and James Marsden. Popping up as guest stars for select episodes are Dan Bakkedahl, Quinta Brunson, Liv Hewson, Fran Kranz, Ki Hong Lee, Lyric Lewis, Bobby Moynihan, Nick Offerman, Judy Reyes, and Calum Worthy.
The short-lived Starz series lasted two seasons with a cast that included Ken Marino, Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen, Lizzy Caplan, and Megan Mullally. The characters all worked as the catering staff for the titular company and were all aspiring performers or making ends meet. The series ended when many of the cast, including Jane Lynch and Adam Scott, found high-profile roles on Glee and Parks and Recreation, respectively. Lynch left the series after the first eight episodes of the first season to star in Glee. She was replaced by Jennifer Coolidge for the final two episodes of that season. Mullaly then joined the cast for Season 2, with Lynch returning for the Season 2 finale.
The Party Down revival trailer finds the gang making a mess of things as they attempt to rekindle the flame of their partnership. Anything that can go wrong usually happens when Party Down is in charge, and we can’t wait to rock the party right.
