Apple has unveiled the cast of its upcoming murder-mystery comedy, The Afterparty, reports The Wrap. It’s a murder-mystery comedy from from Academy Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe Award winners Chris Miller and Phil Lord and is set at a high school reunion afterparty.
Each of the eight episodes will feature a retelling of the same night told through a different character’s perspective, each with its own unique visual format and film genre to match the teller’s personality.
Tiffany Haddish will star as Detective Danner, the eccentric detective assigned to the case, with Sam Richardson, Zoe Chao, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer, Dave Franco and Jamie Demetriou set to play the alumni being questioned. Early will play Detective Culp, Danner’s overly eager partner.
