Luke Evans is among the rare cadre of British actors who regularly balance Hollywood blockbusters with more modest British dramas. Not to mention the actor, who has starred in movies as diverse as “The Hobbit” trilogy and the live-action “Beauty and the Beast” opposite Emma Watson, also recently came off a five-month stint Broadway stint as Frank-N-Furter earlier this year, for which he was nominated for a Tony.

His latest project is “The Party,” an adaptation of a psychological thriller by Elizabeth Day, which he also co-produced, for ITV. (The five-part series, which is repped for global sales by ITV Studios, is currently available to watch on ITVX). The show deals with class, hidden sexuality and the nature of both romantic and platonic love all wrapped up in a tense drama.
