The groom is murdered at his wedding in The Afterparty season 2
The trailer of the series features how a wedding ceremony takes an unexpected and horrific turn as the groom is murdered, and every guest becomes a suspect. The clip begins with a glimpse of the murder with Leslie Gore's It's My Party playing in the background. Fans then see the dead body of the groom played by Zach Woods, and Detective Danner setting the scene for the interrogations to be held.
"We got a dead body and a lot of people to talk to," Danner says.
The new season will also see the fan-favorite characters Zoe and Aniq return.
The creator, Chris Miller, said in a press statement earlier in January 2023:
"Well, Zoe and Aniq were really the emotional heart of the first season, so it felt cruel to not bring them back It seemed like it’d be fun to get them to work together this time to solve a murder at a wedding. And then we just worked at trying to think of some funny characters, some interesting stories, some interesting twists. And Detective Danner is the Poirot of the series.”
