“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.
From Academy Award winners Miller and Phil Lord, the 10-episode second season of “The Afterparty” will follow Aniq, Zoe and Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) as they’re embroiled in a murder-mystery that claims the life of the groom on the day of his wedding, where every guest is a suspect.
