The Afterparty Season 2: Jack Whitehall & Paul Walter Hauser on Getting Slapped
The Big Picture [Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Season 2 of The Afterparty.]In Season 2 of the Apple TV+ comedy series The Afterparty, naturally another murder has occurred, reeling Detective Danner back into the mix, due to her desire to team back up with Aniq and solve the crime.
JACK WHITEHALL: I remember seeing the poster for the first season and thinking, “Wow, that’s an incredible cast of comic actors that they’ve managed to assemble for this, and people that I really admire.” I really enjoyed watching the first season. And so, when it came across my desk, I boarded it relatively early on. And then, seeing the cast that came on board was incredible. I realized the scope of ambition for the second season was pretty amazing.
Since you guys got to know what was going on with your characters ahead of time, how did that inform the way you played them? How did that help you determine who they were to you? WHITEHALL: It was so fun. That was the scene I was looking forward to doing the most. Any of those bits where I got to flip between the accents were really fun. It was great. Also, that character presented in a certain way, so knowing that’s where it was headed was really great for me. To know that there was this other side to him that we would shock the audience with made it a much more appealing character to want to play.
HAUSER: It’s interesting that he got invited to his ex’s wedding. He thinks, “Why would she invite me? Maybe I can be help of service somehow. This guy seems shady.” Like a lot of conspiracy theorists, the origin has some truth, and then it just gets out of control. I had fun doing the poor execution of a good intention. I think Travis really feels like he’s onto something, at all turns, but of course, that’s not the case on the show.
Paul, you have quite a bit of physical comedy throughout the season. Is that something that you enjoy doing?
