It’s time to sling some ‘derves in a new Party Down season 3 trailer
Ten years in the making, the third season of the cult series arrives on Starz next month
TV News Party Down![It’s time to sling some ‘derves in a new Party Down season 3 trailer](https://img.pastemagazine.com/wp-content/avuploads/2023/01/15001513/f66b5fd64642e7a4b7c4256231a1ea4f.jpg)
If you’re planning any parties scheduled post-February 24, be warned: the Party Down crew is officially back in business. Season 3 of the cult Starz comedy returns in less than a month, and a new teaser finds the original crew still slinging ‘derves and one-liners in equal measure.
Set ten years after the events of the original series (which aired on Starz from 2009-2010), Party Down’s new season returns to Los Angeles to check in on the band of down-on-their-luck, up-on-their-sarcasm cater waiters the series follows. Despite being a decade older, nobody seems all that wiser. As Henry Pollard (Adam Scott) puts it: “This is not how I envisioned my 40s.”
Right off the bat, the trailer reintroduces us to the Party Down van, which Ron Donald (Marino) has since transformed into his own personal pad on wheels. Startled awake by a call to arms (read: a new catering job somewhere in the Hollywood Hills), Ron kicks the trash from the van’s backseat and phones the only crew of stragglers he can count on.
When it comes to said stragglers, OG Party-Downers Constance Carmell (Jane Lynch), Roman DeBeers (Martin Starr), Kyle Bradway (Ryan Hansen), and Lydia Dunfree (Megan Mullally) are all back. But a new era also promises some new faces: Jennifer Garner, Tyrel Jackson Williams, and Zoë Chao.
Guest stars this season also appear to be bountiful: in the new teaser, audiences get a glimpse at Quinta Brunson, Nick Offerman, and Judy Reyes in guest spots. Bobby Moynihan, Liv Hewson, Fran Kranz, Ki Hong Lee, Lyric Lewis, Dan Bakkedahl, and Calum Worthy have also been confirmed for appearances.
The third season of Party Down premieres on Starz on February 24, at midnight.

I didn’t see her in the trailer or on the list–hope at least for a surprise guest appearance?
Until the show has aired completely and it doesn’t happen, I will hold out hope that the final episode takes place at a party she, now famous, is hosting.
Martin Starr’s response to Ryan Hansen sums it up perfectly.
I like that they’re recreating the full experience, including the part where I have to figure out how to possibly watch something on something called “Starz.”
So true. I will see this if it ends up on Netflix or HBOMax. I didn’t even finish the originals because it was on Hulu.
starz has outlasted seeso, quibi, cnn+, mixer, vine, filmstruck, dc universe and more. and yet, the joke still works!
It’s like Starz is trying to truly emulate actual stars by being impossible for mankind to reach in our lifetimes!
Hence the Z so no one is fooled… StarZ is impossible to reach, at the end of the line but unlike our stars in the sky it doesn’t burn bright nor is it universally recognized as a “thing”
I got a 6 month subscription because it was on sale for $10 and worth it for P-Valley alone.
wtf is starz lol
Ken killing it at SF sketchfest last week..
Are we old as shit yet?!?!
See: desperation.
Poor, consistently overlooked James Marsden. Can’t even get a mention for his cameo in the trailer.
Obligatory:
Wait, what!? Third season? I thought it was going to be a movie this whole time.
Party Down is a show I liked, but often found it to be more entertaining than funny, if that makes sense, and this trailer looks like it promises more of the same. This is also making me remember how Starz pulling their content off of Netflix (Party Down, Spartacus, probably others) was my first taste of the chaotic rights wars that would come to define the streaming experience for viewers.
Needs more Roman. As does everything
Step one: wait for entire season to be released. Step two: sign up for free trial of Starz. Step three: profit.
Say it with me, guys:
