After two seasons, fans of “The Afterparty” on Apple TV+ were left with a mix of emotions as the series came to a close. The decision to cancel the show was announced just one month following the conclusion of its second season, and it followed discussions about reevaluating the post-strike slate. In this article, we delve into the details of what led to the cancellation and the impact of “The Afterparty.”
While the unusual design and engaging plot of “The Afterparty” immediately captured the audience’s imagination, the second season, which wrapped up on September 6, did not replicate the same impact as its predecessor. It faced stiff competition from season 3 of Hulu’s popular murder mystery comedy series, “Only Murders in the Building,” as reported by Deadline.
The Unique Appeal of “The Afterparty”
“The Afterparty” was co-executively produced by Chris Miller and Phil Lord and stood out as a distinctive anthology series. Each episode explored a different character’s perspective on a pivotal evening marked by a murder. The show pushed the boundaries of various film genres, garnering attention and admiration for its inventive storytelling.
The decision to discontinue the series was influenced by multiple factors. Season 2’s ratings, coupled with a post-strike evaluation of Apple’s entertainment schedule, played a pivotal role. It’s worth noting that the creators and executive producers, Chris Miller and Phil Lord, had intended to produce a third season. However, negotiations with the Writers Guild of America proved to be challenging, leading to an impasse, as reported by TV Line.
Cast:
One of the show’s standout features was its talented cast, including Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, and Zo Chao, all of whom reprised their roles for the second season. The addition of John Cho, Paul Walter Hauser, Ken Jeong, Anna Konkle, Poppy Liu, Elizabeth Perkins, Jack Whitehall, Zach Woods, and Vivian Wu in season 2 further expanded the show’s appeal. Season 2 centered on Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish), who was tasked with solving a murder at a wedding.
According to Deadline, the show’s production company, Sony Pictures Television, still has the option to pitch “The Afterparty” to other platforms. This offers a glimmer of hope to devoted fans despite Apple TV+’s decision to end the series after its second season.
