Emmy nominee Lizzy Caplan is the only original cast member who won’t be able to return due to scheduling conflicts.
“It follows a Los Angeles catering team — a sextet of Hollywood wannabes stuck working for tips while hoping for their ‘big break,’” reads the synopsis. “Each episode of this half-hour comedy finds the hapless catering team working a new event — and inevitably getting tangled up with the colorful guests and their absurd lives.”
The returning cast will be joined by Golden Globe winner Jennifer Garner (Alias), James Marsden (Westworld, Dead to Me), Tyrel Jackson Williams (Thunder Force), and Zoë Chao (Love Life). The six-episode series will also include guest appearances from Dan Bakkedahl, Quinta Brunson, Liv Hewson, Fran Kranz, Ki Hong Lee, Lyric Lewis, Bobby Moynihan, Nick Offerman, Judy Reyes, and Calum Worthy.
The Party Down revival will be executive produced by Scott, Paul Rudd, John Enbom, Rob Thomas, and Dan Etheridge, with Enbom set as the showrunner It is a production by Lionsgate Television.
Created by Paul Rudd, John Enbom, Rob Thomas, and Dan Etheridge, the original Starz series ran on-air for two seasons from 2009-2010. Despite receiving positive reviews from critics, it was ultimately canceled due to low ratings and main cast shakeups where it lost its two main cast members Jane Lynch and Adam Scott to other TV shows — Glee and Parks and Recreation, respectively.
