Apple TV+’s The Afterparty is returning for its anticipated second season this summer. A new trailer for the Tiffany Haddish-led murder mystery comedy has just dropped. Haddish returns as Detective Danner, who, this time around, is trying to solve a murder after a groom named Edgar turns up dead at his wedding. Sam Richardson and Zoë Chao, who are reprising their roles as Aniq and Zoë, respectively, are also on the case. As the trailer, which you can watch below, reveals, everyone is a suspect.

Following its January 2022 premiere, season one of The Afterparty became a hit with audiences and critics alike and was quickly renewed for a second season that March. The first season took Detective Danner to a high school reunion, where she was tasked with solving the murder of Xavier, a pop music icon and film star portrayed by Channing Tatum. Each episode recounted a different suspect’s account of the night of the crime. To tell each character’s story (or “mind movies” as Detective Danner calls them in the trailer), the series relied on using distinct visual styles associated with popular film genres. The second season will follow the same format, and we can hear Detective Danner say in the trailer: “We got a dead body and a whole lot of people to talk to, We’d like to hear your accounts of what happened.” The task is apparently not a simple one, as we can also see Detective Danner and Aniq disagree on who is actually guilty of the crime.
