Fans Rejoice! The Afterparty Season 3 Revived by Popular Demand on Apple TV+

Summary

The Afterparty has not been renewed for season 3 on Apple TV+.

Lord and Miller, the executive producers, have the potential to secure a new platform for the show, giving it a chance to find a new home. The cancellation could create media buzz and possibly result in a revival, particularly due to the widespread popularity of Lord and Miller.

The Afterparty has officially concluded, at least for the time being. It takes place after a high school reunion and quickly turns into a murder mystery that prompts each character to reflect on their own perspectives of the crime. Philip Anderson Lord and Christopher Robert Miller, writers of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, lead the show, offering a different character's viewpoint in each episode. The show premiered in 2022 and was promptly renewed for another season by Apple TV+. Season 2's final episode aired on September 6, marking the start of a waiting period for a renewal. However, it seems that the wait will be longer than expected.

According to TVLine, Apple TV+ has already decided not to continue with The Afterparty for a third season. The unique and imaginative show has not proven itself enough to secure a spot on the platform. While this is indeed the end for The Afterparty on Apple TV+, there is still a possibility that the show might find a new home on a different network.

Can The Afterparty Find A New Home?

The fate of Afterparty's continuation beyond season 2 hinges on securing a new platform for the show. Similar projects that were recently cancelled, such as Warrior Nun, were able to find alternative platforms thanks to dedicated fan campaigns and international attention. In contrast, Afterparty being transformed into a movie, like Warrior Nun, seems unlikely given its episodic nature. Moreover, transitioning to a conventional murder mystery format would raise doubts considering the show's unique and distinguishing format.

Rather than relying solely on Lord and Miller, the show will need their assistance to secure a season 3. Lord and Miller are highly respected figures in the industry and have gained even more popularity through the success of the Spider-Verse movies. With such influential names attached to the project, it should have no trouble finding a platform willing to take a risk. The cancellation could even generate media interest if there is a possibility of revival.

Now that the WGA strike has ended while the SAG-AFTRA strike continues, networks will be reassessing their current lineups. This could potentially create a new opportunity for the show to find a home, or it could result in other networks declining to pick it up. However, for now, The Afterparty has come to an end as Apple TV+ has decided not to move forward with the Lord and Miller show.
