Apple’s murder-mystery comedy from Phil Lord and Chris Miller has lined up its principal cast.
Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip, The Last O.G.) will lead the ensemble in The Afterparty, an eight-episode series set at a high school reunion afterparty. The cast also includes Sam Richardson (Veep), Zoë Chao (Love Life), Ben Schwartz (House of Lies), Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project), Ilana Glazer (Broad City), Dave Franco (The Disaster Artist), Jamie Demetriou (Miracle Workers) and John Early (Search Party).
Each episode of The Afterparty will retell the story of the night from a different character’s perspective, with the visual format and genre of storytelling changing each time to match the character’s personality. Apple gave the show, from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse producers Lord and Miller, TriStar TV and Sony Pictures Television, a straight-to-series order back in June.
Haddish will play Detective Danner, an eccentric cop assigned to solve the high-profile case. The Emmy winner is coming off TBS’ The Last O.G., which she exited after its third season. Her other recent credits include Like a Boss, Netflix’s Self Made and ABC’s Kids Say the Darndest Things.
