The cast
A stellar ensemble cast includes:
Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip, Like a Boss) plays Detective Danner who kicks off the investigation with all the suspects gathered together — "Poirot" style — in a room.
John Early (Search Party) plays Detective Culp, Danner’s over-eager sidekick. The group starts passing the blame and accusations abound.
Sam Richardson (Tomorrow War, Veep) plays Aniq, a loveable escape room designer who hopes to reconnect with his high-school crush played by Zoe Chao (Love Life, Modern Love, Downhill).
Ben Schwartz (Space Force, House of Lies) plays Yasper, Aniq’s irritatingly positive pal who dreams of a career in music and works in audiovisuals.
Dave Franco (The Rental, The Disaster Artist) plays Xavier, a famous and wealthy pop singer, and actor who arrives at the party via helicopter.
Ilana Glazer (Broad City) plays Chelsea, who seems to have gone off the rails and Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project) is Brett, Zoe’s cocky ex-husband, and former college jock, who clearly still has anger issues surrounding his broken relationship with his high school love.
Jamie Demetriou (Fleabag, Stath Lets Flats) plays Walt, quiet and invisible at school, he attends the reunion hoping someone will remember him.
Academy Award, BAFTA, and Golden Globe winners Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse; The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street) are the show’s creators.
Episode One — Aniq
Episode one kicks off with flashbacks to the start of the party, the murder and Detective Danner and Detective Culp arriving at the palatial Californian house to interview the suspects in the middle of the night...
Aniq is the first person to be questioned and he recalls his night in flashback. Danner wants to know his reasons for being at the reunion. ‘We’re all stars of our own movie - I wanna hear your mind movie…!’ she says, before he tells his story.
This promises to be a cracking series.
