Martin Starr Talks Party Down Season 3 & His Hopes for Season 4
24In this new era of television, one series that was ahead of its time in comedy, and unjustly fell to the wayside over a decade ago, is making a triumphant and celebrated return. From Starz and the original writer, John Enbom, Party Down is making its comeback with a very long-awaited Season 3. Reuniting nearly all the original lineup — an ensemble cast of now-well-known faces — fans get to pick back up with Adam Scott’s Henry Pollard and friends thirteen years after we left off. We’re talking Ken Marino, Jane Lynch, Ryan Hansen, Megan Mullally, and Martin Starr, whose most recent roles include Paramount+’s Tulsa King, Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Like its genius premise so many years ago, Season 3 takes us back to the Party Down catering service. Most of the crew have moved on from parties, save Ron Donald (Marino) who’s now living on a prayer and out of the van, and Roman (Starr). Yet, circumstances and fates have aligned, bringing divorced Henry unwillingly back into the fray. Others, like Lydia (Mullally) and Constance (Lynch), are past their catering days, though they still find themselves schmoozing at the same events. Season 3 promises all the heart, heartache, and shenanigans as before, but with a pinch of middle age and post-pandemic partying thrown in. Are we having fun yet?
Before we tighten these bowties for the Party Down Season 3 premiere on Starz, on February 24, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with Starr about the revival. During the interview, Starr shares what it feels like to return to the set so many years later, his hopes for Season 4 with fellow alum, Lizzy Caplan, and what it’s like to go on a truckload of a trip with all of his friends. Starr also discusses how the series’ structure changed with TV today, character arcs, and what it’s like working with Sylvester Stallone on Tulsa King.
