Both seasons featured a contained mystery, with single-season main cast members including Ike Barinholtz, Ben Schwartz, Ilana Glazer, Jamie Demetriou, Dave Franco, John Cho, Paul Walter Hauser, Ken Jeong, Anna Konkle, Poppy Liu, Elizabeth Perkins, Jack Whitehall, Zach Woods and Vivian Wu.
The series was created by Chris Miller, who executive produced the series alongside Phil Lord under their banner Lord Miller. Aubrey Lee served as producer. Anthony King also served as executive producer.
“We would love to do a Season 3, not only because we have lots of great ideas, but also because that would mean that the AMPTP would have given a fair deal to the writers and we could all be back to work,” Miller told Variety, speaking as a producer in an interview discussing the Season 2 finale amid the WGA strike.
“The Afterparty” debuted its first season in January 2022, with the Season 2 premiere following in July of this year. The series landed six nominations at the 2022 edition of the Hollywood Critics Association TV Awards.
News of Apple not moving forward with a third season of “The Afterparty” was first reported by TV Line.
