From October 11, unmissable drama The Party is available to watch on ITV and ITVX. Based on Elizabeth Day's bestselling novel of the same name, the thrilling five-part series is one of the most highly anticipated shows of the year.
Luke Evans stars as Martin Gilmour. Once from a working class background, his life has been shaped by his lifelong friendship with wealthy politician Ben Fitzmaurice (Tom Cullen) after they met at boarding school when Martin won a scholarship there.
When Martin is invited to Ben’s lavish birthday party at his family's country home, news of the Conservative leader’s resignation threatens to derail the party, as Ben considers announcing his intention to stand.
Martin is worried that his friend moving into such a public role could bring up the secrets of their past with tragic consequences.
