Apple TV+’s “The Afterparty” has been canceled after a second season, an individual with knowledge of the move told TheWrap on Friday.
The 10-episode installment that dropped its first two episodes in July and followed with a weekly release on Wednesdays put a new spin on the popular murder mystery genre. As each character recounted what they were doing and what they saw on the night in question, their testimony was told through a different film genre.
Sony Pictures Television plans to shop “The Afterparty” to other platforms in light of the cancellation, an individual with knowledge said.
In the second season, a wedding is ruined when the groom (Zach Woods) is found dead in bed.

Apple is breaking up The Afterparty.
The tech giant’s Apple TV+ streaming service has canceled The Afterparty after two seasons. The news comes a month and change after the genre-hopping comedic murder mystery finished its second season.

Major film and TV productions are currently on hold due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but the New York theater scene is still as active as ever.

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of “The Afterparty,” now streaming on Apple TV+.
Instead of deciding on who would make the perfect killer, the writers of Season 2 of “The Afterparty” began their journey by selecting a murder weapon.
“It started with thinking that it should be poison, and then thinking that the glass of the poison goes on a journey and doesn’t reach its intended target,” says series creator Chris Miller. “That would help us create a character who doesn’t have an obvious motive to kill the victim, but then we would need that character to have another secret or murder that’s intended. And what could that be?”

[This story contains spoilers from the season two finale of The Afterparty, “Vivian and Zoë.”]
In the season two finale of The Afterparty, viewers learn two things about the killer and one about the deceased, Edgar, the groom. Let’s start with the latter.
Edgar (Zach Woods) went around the world to find the globetrotting uncle, Ulysses (John Cho), of his bride-to-be Grace (Poppy Liu). But Ulysses wants no part of the wedding. Why? Because at the wedding will be his forbidden love that he’s traveled around the world to forget about, Vivian (Vivian Wu), the wife of his half-brother Feng (Ken Jeong). Edgar, however, forces Ulysses’ hand and makes him attend.
Edgar learned the hard way, however, that it’s best to leave people alone and that no means no — as audience members of the Apple TV+ series found out in the end that Ulysses is Edgar’s murderer (although, not intentionally). What Ulysses didn’t count on when attending the wedding was that,...

“The Afterparty” has placed all sorts of lenses on its murder mystery wedding romp in Season 2: the generic conventions of rom-com and film noir, specific directorial styles like Alfred Hitchcock’s and Wes Anderson’s, and even whole modes of filmmaking as in Feng’s (Ken Jeong) found-footage episode peppered with vertical iPhone videos ready for TikTok.
The sheer number of different visual styles the show needs is a challenge, but so is creating a “normal” look for the present-day interrogation scenes with Danner (Tiffany Haddish), Aniq (Sam Richardson), and Zoë (Zoe Chao). Working out the feeling of that grounding “home base” look was as challenging as crafting the show’s most extreme visual styles, and in both cases required cinematographer Ross Riege to do a lot of calibrating in order to get it right — and then keep it straight.

Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells, the original stars of The Book of Mormon, will return to Broadway in a comedic two-hander, Gutenberg! The Musical!
Gutenberg! The Musical! will play the James Earl Jones Theatre starting Sept. 15, ahead of an opening night on Oct. 12. The limited engagement is scheduled to run through Jan. 28, 2024.
Directed by Alex Timbers, and written by Scott Brown and Anthony King (all of whom worked on the musical Beetlejuice), the show is about two friends who create a musical about Johannes Gutenberg, the creator of the printing press, in what Rannells says is a “demented love letter to Broadway,” per a promotional video for the show.
The production was originally developed at New York’s Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre and was also a part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival. The show had an off-Broadway run in 2006 and productions have played across North America, as well as the U.

“The Afterparty” Season 2 will tackle episodic genres from ’90s-era erotic thrillers to Austenian period pieces, creator-executive producer Chris Miller teased during the 2023 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour.
Additionally, Miller told journalists that Sam Richardson’s Aniq will once again get a romantic comedy-themed episode, as with last season, likening it to a “sequel” of sorts. However, Zoë Chao’s Zoe will not get an animated episode, but rather a different genre. There will also be styles reminiscent of Wes Anderson films, with Miller describing a “twee indie film,” as well as a heist-themed episode.

"The Afterparty" never stops! Christopher Miller and Phil Lord's mystery-comedy debuted to acclaim last January on Apple TV+, and while it found an answer to the question of who killed the pop star Xavier (Dave Franco) in the final episode, detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) wasn't ready to call it quits just yet. Haddish and co-stars Sam Richardson and Zoë Chao are now set to return for a second season that'll feature a new ensemble, a new set of genre-skewing detours, and of course, a new murder.
While we won't know exactly what to expect from "The Afterparty" season 2 until the show's trailer drops closer to its premiere date, the cast and crew of the show appeared at the 2023 Winter...

After a fan-led revival, Beetlejuice will end its Broadway run Jan. 8, 2023.
The Broadway musical, based on the 1988 Tim Burton film, originally opened at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre on April 25, 2019, and later announced a June 2020 closing (which was moved up due to the industrywide shutdown in March 2020). The closing notice, prompted by the theater owner, was notable because it came as the grosses for the musical were on an uptick, which the production credited to growing fan engagement. However, The Music Man was slated to take that theater.
The musical reopened at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway in April 2022, with most of its original cast.
Since returning to Broadway, the musical has experienced more of a struggle at the box office. In recent weeks, the production has grossed less than 1 million and has been playing to capacities of 60 to 70 percent.

Last week, more than 400 TV creators and showrunners — all of them women — sent letters to top executives at Hollywood studios demanding that specific safety protocols be put in place for pregnant employees in states where abortion has been outlawed, or soon will be. Now, letters of support signed by 594 men — including J.J. Abrams, Jordan Peele, Greg Berlanti, Donald Glover, Aaron Sorkin, David E. Kelley, Taika Waititi and Ryan Murphy — have been sent to the same companies.
The text of the letter is short, simply saying the undersigned stand with their “female, trans & non-binary showrunner colleagues in demanding a response from our employers regarding the imminent crisis” at hand. It was delivered by replying-all to the first letter, and was sent to Disney, Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, Apple, NBC Universal, Amazon, Lionsgate and AMC.
These activist correspondences have been instigated by the Supreme Court’s June 24 Dobbs decison, which overturned Roe v.

“Woke” has been canceled by Hulu, Variety has confirmed.
The series aired its second season on the streaming platform in April. The comedy series had originally premiered on Hulu in Sept. 2020. Both seasons consisted of eight episodes each.
Inspired by the life of artist Keith Knight, “Woke” starred Lamorne Morris as Keef, a Black cartoonist on the verge of mainstream success when an unexpected incident changed everything. With a newfound consciousness, Keef navigated the new voices and ideas challenging him, all without setting aflame to everything he’d already built. The series combimed live-action with animated sequences, with Keef seeing and hearing inanimate objects talking to him as he becomes more aware of racism in his everyday life. Along with Morris, “Woke” also starred T. Murph, Blake Anderson, Sasheer Zamata and Rose McIver.
The show was developed by Marshall Todd and Knight. They also served as executive producers alongside Maurice “Mo” Marable,...

“Nothing can ruin this night.” That’s the hope, at least, at the outset of the first teaser-trailer for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s new murder-mystery series, “The Afterparty.”
Per Apple TV+, “The Afterparty” is a comedic whodunit set at a high school reunion. Each of the eight episodes features a retelling of the same night through a different character’s perspective, each with its own unique visual style and film genre to match the teller’s personality.
The all-star cast includes Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer (“Broad City”), Jamie Demetriou, Dave Franco and John Early (“Search Party”).
The first trailer certainly sets the tone with Ini Kamoze’s “Here Comes the Hotstepper” and Dave Franco taking a mysterious swan dive off a cliff. Haddish looks to be our Hercule Poirot/Benoit Blanc, the popcorn-eating detective determined to suss out what makes...

Apple TV Plus set Chris Miller and Phil Lord’s “The Afterparty” for a January 2022 debut and released a teaser for the upcoming murder mystery.
The show is set at a high school reunion, and each of the eight episodes retells the events of the night through a different character’s perspective — and therefore unique visual style.
“This is one of the most surprising, original and fun projects we’ve ever made,” said Lord and Miller. “Our goal was to tell a comedic whodunit story in a new and exciting way. By giving each episode its own unique style of storytelling, we were able to make what feels like eight distinctly different but interconnected films that highlight how everyone’s personal perspective and biases shape how they see the world.”
The show stars Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer, Jamie Demetriou and Dave Franco.
The show is set at a high school reunion, and each of the eight episodes retells the events of the night through a different character’s perspective — and therefore unique visual style.
“This is one of the most surprising, original and fun projects we’ve ever made,” said Lord and Miller. “Our goal was to tell a comedic whodunit story in a new and exciting way. By giving each episode its own unique style of storytelling, we were able to make what feels like eight distinctly different but interconnected films that highlight how everyone’s personal perspective and biases shape how they see the world.”

Comedy Central and Refinery29 have signed a digital content partnership to produce two comedy series featuring an all-female lineup of comedians, Variety has learned exclusively.
Slated to premiere spring 2020, the series will be co-branded and distributed on both Comedy Central and Refinery29’s digital platforms. While neither series is being eyed for a linear run at present, a release at some point on the ViacomCBS-owned cable channel isn’t out of the question given that Comedy Central owns the rights, according to sources.
The first series, titled “Cc x R29: Taking the Stage,” is a short-form stand-up series featuring a curation of showcase clips from a lineup of comedians. The second, “Cc x R29: Speak Up,” will be a short-form storytelling series in which the comedians will share stories about speaking up and being heard.
