For the most part, cult classics never get a chance to expand upon their story, one that was later discovered by endearing fans. Because by the time that discovery occurs, too many years have passed. Removing any possibility of getting the proverbial band back together. So, we tend to just enjoy that cult classic as it stands and wonder what could have been if the story were allowed to continue for just a little longer. But what’s amazing, is that this era of peak television and the demand to see iconic stories continue regardless of the passage of time, is finally allowing for this long-standing wish to be granted.
In fact, earlier today, we finally got our first look at one that we’ve been hoping and waiting for and wanting for ages. Because STARZ released a teaser trailer for the upcoming third season of the highly beloved cult series, Party Down, complete with a release date no less. And since you’re eager to know what the next chapter in this revival is going to look like… here is that teaser and more details on season three of the series, courtesy of STARZ, to help you count down the days to the return of this iconic and beloved show. STARZ announced today the long-awaited return of the hit comedy series “Party Down” is set to premiere on Friday, February 24 at midnight on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms and internationally on the LIONSGATE+ premium streaming platform in the UK, Brazil and Latin America. On linear, it will debut on STARZ at 9:00 PM ET/PT in the U.S. and Canada. The third season will consist of six new episodes and to celebrate its return, a first look teaser and photo reuniting the Party Down catering crew were released earlier today. Ten years later, most of the Party Down catering team have moved on, including actor/bartender Henry Pollard (Adam Scott, “Severance,” “Parks and Recreation”). After a surprise reunion, the gang find themselves once again stoically enduring the procession of random parties and oddball guests all over Los Angeles. Scott reprises his role alongside original cast members Ken Marino (“The Other Two,” “Veronica Mars”), Jane Lynch (“Glee,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), Martin Starr (Knocked Up, “Silicon Valley”), Ryan Hansen (“Bless this Mess,” “Veronica Mars”) and Megan Mullally (“Will & Grace,” “The Great North”). Previously announced new cast members joining in on the fun include Jennifer Garner (The Adam Project, Yes Day) Tyrel Jackson Williams (Thunder Force, “Brockmire”) and Zoë Chao (“Love Life,” “The Afterparty”). James Marsden (Disenchanted, “Dead to Me”) is set to recur as a guest star. The third season is executive produced by “Party Down” alumni Rob Thomas (“Veronica Mars,” “iZombie”), John Enbom (“iZombie,” “Benched,”), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Dan Etheridge (“Veronica Mars,” iZombie”) and Adam Scott (“Severance,” “Parks and Recreation”). Enbom also serves as showrunner. “Party Down” is produced for STARZ by Lionsgate Television. The first two seasons of “Party Down” debuted on STARZ in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Both seasons remain available on STARZ and for download or streaming via the STARZ app. Follow “Party Down” on Social Twitter: @PartyDownSTARZ Instagram: @PartyDownSTARZ Facebook: @PartyDownSTARZ Join the conversation with #PartyDown and #STARZ About STARZ STARZ (www.starz.com), a Lionsgate company, is a leading global media streaming platform committed to delivering premium content that amplifies narratives by, about and for women and underrepresented audiences.
