Tiffany Haddish leads the search for the truth in the new Apple TV+ comedy series ‘The Afterparty.’

Set to premiere on the streamer on January 28, 2022, the unique murder mystery chronicles one killer night through the lens of the 8 revelers who attended a high school reunion afterparty.

Aptly clocking in at eight episodes, each installment will unpack the events of the same evening by way of a different character’s perspective. Indeed, the episodes will all take on individual formats and shapeshift to adapt to the protagonist’s personality. 

Haddish is joined by Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer, Jamie Demetriou, and Dave Franco in the Chris Miller directed series.

The RHOA spin-off show sees the 40-year-old take her entire family on a trip – including her new fiancé Simon Guobadia.

And it’s clear that her relationship with the mogul (who was previously married to RHOA “Friend” Falynn Guobadia) is a major focus point of the series. Especially with her family and ex Dennis McKinley all in the mix.
