Adam Scott Breaks Down the Long and Winding Road to ‘Party Down’ Season 3
thewrap.com“Party Down,” there’s essentially been talk of some kind of reunion or continuation since it was canceled in 2010. At long last, 13 years later, Season 3 has arrived.The half-hour comedy series launched in 2009, a story of Hollywood malaise as told through the eyes of the workers at a catering company, with each episode taking place at a different event.
Ahead of its time, the ensemble cast ranged from Adam Scott to Lizzy Caplan to Jane Lynch to Martin Starr, all of whom would go on to star in massively successful shows of their own in the ensuing years.While the series wasn’t formally canceled until after Season 2 aired, Adam Scott said he had an inkling during the filming of the second season finale that they wouldn’t be back.“There was a feeling — at least with those of us who were in the know about what was happening at Starz — there was a sense that this may be it,” Scott told TheWrap. “So much so that I remember getting one of the last scenes … I say something about Jane like ‘She’s gonna be OK’ and I was choked up, I was starting to cry because I felt like this might be it.”Perhaps the saddest part was that by the end of Season 2, Scott said the cast was “at its peak of having fun with each other and loving making the show and not knowing if anyone would ever really see it, and not caring because we were loving it so much.”Indeed, the actor – who would follow “Party Down” with an iconic role on “Parks and Recreation” – says that making the show for each other was “more than enough” and they were eager to keep going, despite middling ratings.But like other cult favorite shows of the 2000s and 2010s, “Party Down” found an audience on home video, racking up a devoted fandom through DVD sales.
