The Murder Mystery Comedy Series, The After Party, looks at the events around a murder and

its investigation from a different character's point of view in each episode.

Now back for a second season, it's got a new murder and a lot of new cast members.

And once again, each installment is made in a different film style,

an erotic thriller, a mid-century melodrama,

or a period romance with a distinct resemblance to a certain Netflix juggernaut.

I'm Glenn Weldon.

And I'm Linda Holmes, and today we're talking about the Apple TV Plus series The After Party on Pop Culture Happy

Hour from NPR. Here with me and Glenn today is Margaret H. Willison,

communications manager of Not Sorry Productions.

Hello, Margaret, welcome back.

Hi, Linda.

Hi, glad I'm so excited to be here.

So the first season of the After Party last year

had a great big cast of comedy hot shots in its

story about a murder at a high school reunion. Only a few of that season's cast

came back for season two namely Sam Richardson and Zoe Chow who again play Anique and

Zoe this time around they are off to the wedding of her sister Grace played by

Poppy Lou to a man named Edgar played by Zach Woods.

Unfortunately Edgar and I gotta say if you're gonna have a weird murder victim make it

Zach Woods exactly right.

Make it Zach Woods. Exactly right. Make it Zach Woods.
