PARTY DOWN: Jennifer Garner, James Marsden, Tyrel Jackson Williams, and Zoë Chao Join Starz Revival

Jennifer Garner has joined the PARTY DOWN revival as a series regular, Starz announced.

Garner will play Evie, “a successful producer of studio franchise movies, who, in the wake of a breakup, is reconsidering her life choices. A fledgling relationship with Henry Pollard (Adam Scott) becomes a way for her to explore possible new directions.”

Additionally, Tyrel Jackson Williams and Zoë Chao have also joined the comedy as regulars. Williams will play Sackson, “a handsome, confident, driven, wannabe influencer/internet personality. He’s knowledgeable and savvy about his specific internet niche, but a bit lost in every other aspect of life.” Chao will play Lucy, “a passionate, outspoken, free-thinking creative ‘food artist.’ Lucy dreams of being a celebrity chef, but she’s stuck cranking out hors d’oeuvres at Party Down without the resources to do anything more ambitious.”

James Marsden will also recur on the series as Jack Botty, “an actor who plays the lead in a popular superhero franchise. Jack’s looks match his charm, he enjoys his life, his fame and being the center of everyone’s attention.”

The six-episode revival will star original stars Scott, Ken Marino, Jane Lynch, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen, and Megan Mullally. The series “follows a Los Angeles catering team – a sextet of Hollywood wannabes stuck working for tips while hoping for their ‘big break.’ Each episode of this half-hour comedy finds the hapless catering team working a new event – and inevitably getting tangled up with the colorful guests and their absurd lives.” John Enbom will serve as showrunner.
