Teaser Trailer: Tiffany Haddish In Apple TV+’s “The Afterparty”

With the wild success of Rian Johnson’s Knives Out a couple years back, there has been a renewed interest in the “whodunit” murder mystery style of film. And while there are several projects along those lines currently in production, one of the more exciting is The Afterparty from Apple TV+ starring Tiffany Haddish.

21 Jump Street and The Lego Movie duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are the minds behind this limited series, which follows a murder that happens during a high school reunion afterparty and the ensuing investigation into the crime. Interestingly, the show won’t have much of a linear format, rater, each episode will re-tell the same events, but from the perspective of a different character.

As such, each episode will be different in terms of visuals, and even genre, with the episodes designed to fit the personality of the different characters. The actor’s will even portray their characters differently from episode to episode, depending on whose perspective is in charge and how that character views the other ones.

Miller wrote and will direct the entire series, while also sharing EP duties with his partner Lord. They have also assembled a who’s who of comedic talent to feature in the series alongside Haddish, including Ben Schwartz, John Early, Ike Barinholtz, Dave Franco, Sam Richardson, Ilana Glazer, Zoë Chao, and Jamie Demetriou.

The Afterparty from Apple TV+ is set to debut in January, 2022.
