Apple unveils cast of murder-mystery comedy, ‘The Afterparty,’ for Apple TV+

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.

Richardson will play Aniq, a loveable escape room designer who hopes to reconnect with his high school crush, Zoe, played by Chao. Schwartz will play Aniq’s “relentlessly positive” best friend Yasper, who dreams of a career in music, while Barinholtz will play Zoe’s ex-husband Brett, an arrogant former high school athlete. 

Glazer will play Chelsea, the former high school valedictorian and class president. Franco will play Xavier, the dorky high school drama student who is now a famous pop star and actor. Fleabag and Miracle Workers actor Demetriou will play Walt, who was ignored throughout high school and attends the reunion with hopes to be remembered.
