Brian Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 ‘Party Down’ Revival Gets Starz Greenlight With Six Of Original Series’ Seven Stars Returning DEADLINE.COM The Party Down revival is a go. Starz has given a six-episode order to a new installment of the cult 2009 comedy series. I really like this show so I am happy it will be back though bummed Lizzy won’t be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 No Lizzy Caplan yet doesn't mean not completely impossible. Separately, this is awesome news, I miss the show. I had my wife watch it recently for the first time, she loved it too. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 So the first episode (of six) just dropped this past Friday and it was great! The show felt like it picked up (in terms of tone and comedy) right where it left off, but taking into account 13 years have passed. It was great to see everyone (except Caplan, who they have used well for plot purposes this season since they couldn't get her) interact again and John Enbom and the writers haven't lost the voice and spirit of the 2009/2010 show. Of all the shows I've watched that have been unceremoniously cancelled from Terriers to Party Down to Hannibal, Party Down was the absolute last show I ever thought I'd see brought back but I'm so glad it is. My wife and I look forward to next week's episode. Any old (or new) fans of the show watching season 3? @Brian @Mr.Vic20 @69los 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 I haven’t watched it yet. I was thinking of waiting for it to be over but it looks like Starz is $5 for 3 months so I will buy a sub to support the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I will definitely be watching. I can’t claim I was cool enough have watched its initial run, but I caught up with it a year or two afterwards and loved it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 I decided to do a full rewatch before watching season 3. The show has aged really well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 It has been a really good season far. Each episode has been better than the last. They did a great job casting the new characters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given where their characters are at this point in the show, it makes some sense, but if you can find ways to insert Jennifer Garner's character in, then it's doable.

We did get Megan’s husband in episode 3. I don’t mind their exclusion currently. It has allowed the newer characters time to grow. I do expect Constance to file for bankruptcy and Lydia get “fired” by her daughter which will result them rejoining Party Down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Whole crew for episode 5 and it is best episode this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dug episode 5 as well, and the two new characters (Sackson and the chef) have been great contributors. And we got a shared scene between Lynch and Mullaly. Good stuff - honestly I hope we get another season even though I'm sure this was intended as a limited series revival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 Season 3 is fantastic. Great ending. Pretty clear they want to do a season 4. Let’s hope it happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - that ending is totally there to make them make a season 4, it was a great stinger. The guy responsible for Veronica Mars wrote this episode and he knows how to get renewed, clearly.

Who doesn’t want to see what got teased?! Someone has to be a fan of the show at Starz to resurrect it. It has been well received by critics and fans. It can’t be that expensive of a show to produce. The cast and crew want more. I think it will happen. I am ok with 6 episodes too. I think it was a good length for the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree - the fact we got a revival at all is super surprising, and the fact everyone came back despite some being very famous names means the cast and crew like making the show. I also heard it's been doing well with critics and audiences, let's get another season Starz c'mon! I'd prefer 8 episodes myself so characters like Sackson and the chef could get more time (same with Mullaly and Lynch) but I'll take whatever I can get. A movie, 6 episodes, whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
