“Party Down” became a cult hit after its premiere on Starz in 2009. Lizzy Caplan (“Masters of Sex”) and Jane Lynch (“Glee”) star alongside Adam Scott (“Parks and Recreation”), Ken Marino (“Marry Me”), Ryan Hansen (‘Veronica Mars”), Martin Starr (“Silicon Valley”) and Megan Mullally (“Will & Grace”).

Created by Rob Thomas (“Veronica Mars”), “Party Down” follows the story of a group of Hollywood acting wannabes who make ends meet by working for a Los Angeles catering company.
