Apple TV+ Sets Worldwide Premiere of Highly Anticipated Murder-Mystery Comedy Series “The Afterparty” for January 28 [VIDEO]

Apple TV+ today announced the highly anticipated murder-mystery comedy series, “The Afterparty,” will debut on Friday, January 28, 2022. From Academy Award, BAFTA, and Golden Globe Award winners Chris Miller and Phil Lord (“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” “The Lego Movie,” “21 Jump Street“), the eight-episode first season will launch with three episodes, followed by one new episode weekly every Friday.

“The Afterparty” features a stellar ensemble cast including Tiffany Haddish (“Girls Trip,” “Like a Boss“), Sam Richardson (“The Tomorrow War,” “Veep“), Zoë Chao (“Love Life,” “Downhill“), Ben Schwartz (“Space Force,” “House of Lies“), Ike Barinholtz (“The Mindy Project,” “Neighbors“), Ilana Glazer (“Broad City“), Jamie Demetriou (“Fleabag,” “Stath Lets Flats“) and Dave Franco (“The Rental,” “The Disaster Artist“).

Created and directed by Miller, “The Afterparty” is a genre-defying series centered on a murder mystery at a high school reunion. Each episode explores 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.

In addition to directing, Miller 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 (“Search Party,” “Dead to Me“) will also executive produce the series. Lord Miller’s VP 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 the Emmy Award-winning “Ted Lasso,” the Peabody Award-winning “Dickinson,” “Mythic Quest,” the Emmy Award-nominated “Central Park,” and the recently added “Acapulco” and “The Shrink Next Door.”

Apple TV+ is available to watch across all your favorite screens. After its launch on November 1, 2019, Apple TV+ became the first all-original streaming service to launch around the world, and has premiered more original hits and received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service in its debut. To date, Apple Original films, documentaries, and series have been honored with 156 wins and 566 awards nominations.
