Put on your party hats and pink bowties because âParty Downâ is officially (almost) back.
Adam Scott confirmed that production on the Starz revival series is complete.
âWe just finished on Saturday night, or Sunday morning at 3 a.m. Itâs going to be great,â Scott told Vulture. âIt was a really magical month and a half or so while we were shooting.â
Scott joked, ââMagicalâ is gross. I donât want to say that. Itâs that particular combination of people where you have the greatest time. When youâre laughing and you canât really breathe â we all needed it.â
Starzconfirmed the revival series from Rob Thomas, showrunner John Enbom, and producers Dan Etheridge and Paul Rudd in March 2021. Former stars Ken Marino, Jane Lynch, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen, and Megan Mullally reprise their respective roles in the six-episode reboot series, while co-lead Lizzy Caplan had scheduling conflicts with series âFatal Attractionâ and âFleishman Is in Troubleâ and could not participate.
âParty Downâ followed a mix of wannabe actors and filmmakers in the Los Angeles catering world. The original series lasted for two seasons and concluded in 2010. Its cult fandom, plus a cast reunion hosted by Vulture back in 2019, helped kickstart the reboot.
âPeople have discovered it in the time since [the finale], and I think thatâs part of what makes it special to people, is that they had to dig it up and find it themselves,â Scott said during the February 17 episode of âThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert.â
Scott added, â[Fans] feel some ownership over it, which they should because we have now started up again and rebooted because of them, because people found it.â
Filming began in January 2022, with Scott sharing a behind-the-scenes set selfie on Instagram. âShortest wardrobe fitting ever,â the âSeveranceâ star captioned.
During âThe Late Show,â Scott reflected on donning the pink bowtie once more, saying, âItâs really strange but really wonderful. Itâs almost a cliche now because thereâs so many reboots and shows to say youâve just picked up where you left off, but it really, really does and itâs just so deeply fun.â
Jennifer Garner, James Marsden, ZoĂ« Chao, and Tyrel Jackson Williams also joined the âParty Downâ revival cast.
Starz has yet to announce a release date for the series.
