The party's over for "The Afterparty," as the comedy murder mystery has been cancelled by Apple TV+ after two seasons.

The Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, and Zoe Charo comedy "The Afterparty" is no more, after Apple TV+ declined to go to a third season of the show. The second season finished its run on September 6.
No official reason for the cancellation has been offered by either the production or Apple itself. According to sources of Deadline, a post-strike reevaluation of content played a role in the cancellation.
The first season of the show, created by Chris Miller with Phil Lord also executive-producing, departed from the usual path of murder mystery shows, by using each episode to delve into one part attendant's experience. Each episode was also filmed in different ways, using the language of film genres to differentiate between the retelling by each suspect.
Though the first season was considered a success due to its novel nature, the second had a much quieter reception for the summer.
Despite ending its run on Apple TV+, Sony Pictures Television is said to be planning to bring the show to other platforms.
