The suspect list this time around is even more silly and star-studded: Grace’s ex (Paul Walter Hauser), Edgar’s adopted sister (Anna Konkle), a world-traveling fun uncle (John Cho), a paranoid mother-in-law (Elizabeth Perkins), a sketchy business partner (Jack Whitehall), and Grace and Zoë’s own parents (Ken Jeong and Vivian Wu) are among the possible culprits. Unfortunately, the pair’s whirlwind romance isn’t built to last, as Edgar ends up dead in his bed the morning after the couple ties the knot. Grace is marrying Edgar (Zach Woods), a blunt and eccentric rich guy with an interest in crypto, and a lizard named Roxana who constantly sits perched on his shoulder. The plot picks up with Aniq and Zoë, now a couple, attending the wedding of Zoë’s sister Grace (Poppy Liu, a great addition to any cast).

Season 2 leaves behind the majority of the initial cast, with the exception of Tiffany Haddish’s Detective Danner, Sam Richardson’s Aniq, and Zoë Chao’s Zoë.

It turned out to be a great decision because the new season of The Afterparty is just as funny as the first, with a stronger mystery and a more cohesive cast. The Apple TV+ mystery-comedy series stretched its premise ultra-thin with its high school reunion-set first season, but instead of shutting down the bar and waving audiences towards the exit with its finale, series creator Christopher Miller (of Lord & Miller fame – Phil Lord executive produces) decided to keep the party going. It’s fitting, then, that The Afterparty’s sophomore season can be seen as a bit of an afterparty for its first. It’s looser, more fun, and gives you a chance to really spend time with an often wild, entertaining group of people.
