Current Events > Rewatched Party Down in preparation for Season 3, releasing 2-24.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Been a while since I've watched this show. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. I have such a crush on Lizzy Caplan.

I haven't even looked into season 3 though to see if all the same people are back. It's been 12/13 years since the last season.
Edit: I just looked it up. Lizzy Caplan isn't returning. :(

Party down is coming back???

Fuck I didn't know the new season was coming this quickly.

Wow I had no idea it was coming back, can't wait.

Sadly it's only 6 episodes. Maybe if it does well there will be more.

Holy crap I'm so glad I stumbled onto this topic, I haven't heard Party Down being mentioned in 10 years. Someone break down what happened, why/how is it getting a revival (not to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything)

If you love lizzy kaplan as much as I do you should watch masters of sex. I basically watched that entire show for her. And the rest of the cast.

Apparently Lizzy didnt do it bc she was filming Fleishman is in Trouble, a show that was pretty good

hope if Party Down gets another season shell be on board

Personally I can't do that for you, I didn't pay enough attention. But I would assume it's just part of the whole "bring back old shows that people liked" thing that has been going on the last few years. Not that I'm complaining. There's some shows that deserve it and some don't and I would argue that Party Down deserves it.

edit no lizzy kaplan? I gotta say my interest/hype did just diminish considerably...

Freaks and Geeks is the same way. Shit, Martin Starr is in both shows. I would love a Freaks and Geeks revival.

I definitely need to rewatch this show, don't remember a single thing about it besides the premise. Where is it even available.

Martin Starr and that blonde guy Ryan who was on Veronica Mars have been in bit parts that I've seen over the years and I always love them, I don't know why they haven't been more popular and didn't make it big.

I watched it on Hulu over the weekend. They had both seasons available. I'm not sure if it requires an add on like STARZ or something.

Party Down was struck down in its prime because of how well it was cast. Many of the leads in the show were so good they ended up getting their own bigger projects (Glee, Parks and Rec etc) that they had to shut it down. Really glad its getting a comeback even if its a short one.

Also it was apparently on Starz, a network that made me go "literally who?" the first time I heard of it. It's usually Showtime and HBO that were the big ones, and Netflix changed everything with streaming
