Earlier today Apple TV+ debuted the teaser trailer for the new highly anticipated murder-mystery comedy series, "The Afterparty" from Academy Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe Award winners Chris Miller and Phil Lord (“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” “The Lego Movie,” “21 Jump Street”). The eight-episode series will premiere globally in January 2022 on Apple TV+, according to the press release.

"This is one of the most surprising, original and fun projects we’ve ever made," said Lord and Miller. "Our goal was to tell a comedic whodunnit story in a new and exciting way. By giving each episode its own unique style of storytelling, we were able to make what feels like eight distinctly different but interconnected films that highlight how everyone’s personal perspective and biases shape how they see the world."
