FIRST THE PARTY SERIES
TRAILER WITH LUKE EVANS AND TOM CULLEN
ITV has surprised us today with the first trailer for their upcoming new six part thriller TV series THE PARTY which boasts quite a stellar leading duo with Luke Evans and Tom Cullen! Evans plays Martin Gilmour, a journalist
shaped by his lifelong friendship with the wealthy and charismatic
politician Ben Fitzmaurice (Cullen). Raised alone by his working-class
mum, Sylvia (Joanna Scanlan), Martin wins a scholarship to an elite boarding school, where he first meets Ben. They forge an unbreakable bond, as Ben and
the
Fitzmaurices give Martin the sense of belonging he has always craved.
In turn, Martin remains unflinchingly loyal to Ben through even the
greatest crises. Three decades on, Martin is invited to Ben’s lavish
birthday party at
the Fitzmaurices' country pile. The news of the
Conservative leader’s resignation threatens to derail Ben’s party, as he
considers announcing his 
intention to stand.
Martin fears the publicity that Ben’s bid would bring, dredging up the
secrets of their past with tragic consequences. The drama moves between
the shocking events of the party and the police
investigation that
follows, with flashbacks to Martin and Ben’s lives at school, university
and London party days. Sarah Solemani stars as Martin’s 
pregnant wife, Lucy. Lydia Leonard is Serena, Ben’s formidable wife, whilst Lindsay Duncan and Douglas Hodge play Ben’s parents, Lady Katherine and Lord George Fitzmaurice. It will air this Autumn!
