“All dressed up and going nowhere.” It’s been over a decade since we’ve seen the catering crew of Party Down on our screens. But thanks to a reboot on Starz, the show — starring Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Megan Mullally, Ryan Hansen, and Ken Marino — returns for another round of parties in the third season of the cult comedy.

As far as what devoted Party Down fans can expect of the show’s next era, Starz explains that the show, much like real life, arrives a decade since we last met up with the catering team in L.A. “Ten years later, most of the Party Down catering team have moved on, including actor/bartender Henry Pollard (Adam Scott),” Starz says in a release. “After a surprise reunion, the gang find themselves once again stoically enduring the procession of random parties and oddball guests all over Los Angeles.”
In an interview with Rolling Stone in February, Rudd, who co-created the show and was originally set to play Scott’s character Henry Pollard, said that “there’s a universal relatability to [Party Down].”
Rudd continued, telling Alan Sepinwall, “This is a collection of people who have loftier goals, who are maybe not where they want to be in their station in life at the current moment. And yet they need each other, even though they can antagonize one another, more than they admit. Early on [in development], we talked about Taxi, where you had all of these people in this one spot, and they’re at work, and they all need each other. And I think that that is something that everybody can kind of relate to… or most people anyway. And it’s funny. It’s just funny. And I think you kind of like all those characters.”
