Tiffany Haddish is Sherlock Holmes in new crime-drama series ‘The Afterparty’

Apple TV+ has officially released the first look for its new murder mystery comedy, The Afterparty, set to debut next year. The series comes from Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the filmmakers behind various films such as Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street and more. The eight episodes will follow the investigation of a detective(Tiffany Haddish) seeking the killer of a famous energetic socialite Xavier(Dave Franco), who mysteriously is found dead during the afterparty of his high school reunion he hosts for his resentful old classmates.

The series has an appealing cast, including Tiffany Haddish as Detective Danner, Dave Franco as the murder victim Xavier, Zoë Chao as Zoe, Sam Richardson as Aniq, Ilana Glazer as Chelsea, Ben Schwartz as Yasper, Ike Barinholtz as Brett, and Jamie Demetriou as Walt. Each episode of 'The Afterparty' is set to be a different narrative and genre, as each suspect recounts the night in question, including a musical, an action movie, and more, giving audiences information on both the murder and this diverse cast of characters.

The official synopsis from Apple TV reads, ''Created and directed by Miller, 'The Afterparty' is a genre-defying series centered on a murder mystery at a high school reunion. Each episode explores a different character's account of the fateful evening in question, all through the lens of popular film genres and unique visuals to match the storyteller's perspective''.

Miller is set as the director, creator, showrunner, and executive producer of the series alongside Lord under their production banner, Lord Miller. Anthony King is also slated to executive produce alongside Lord Miller's SVP of Television, Aubrey Lee.
