Don't call it a reboot, the cult comedy hit Party Down isn't starting over, but continuing its story with Party Down season 3, picking up a decade after the show was last on the air.
Party Down debuted in 2009 on Starz and ran for two seasons before it was canceled by the network, citing low ratings, despite a strong critical reception. What also may have played a factor was that the original cast featured a number of actors that left to do shows that would make them household names.
The good news for long-time fans of the series is that the gang is back together for this revival. Here is everything that you need to know about Party Down season 3.
When is the next Party Down season 3 episode?
The final episode of the Party Down reboot airs on Friday, March 31, on Starz. It airs just after 9 pm ET/PT on the Starz cable channel, but is available to stream right now on the Starz app and streaming platform.
Here is the synopsis for the Party Down season 3 finale, "Sepulveda Basin High School Spring Play Opening Night":
"Henry and the Party Down crew scheme to keep their latest party going all night."
Party Down season 3 cast
Most of the original cast from Party Down is set to return for season 3, including Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Ken Marino, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen and Megan Mullally.

Scott broke out with Parks & Recreation and now also stars in the hit series Severance; Lynch would win Emmys for her roles on Glee and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel; Starr was a main cast member on the hit HBO series Silicon Valley and currently stars opposite Sylvester Stallone in Tulsa King; and Ken Marino has appeared on many memorable TV shows, including Eastbound & Down, Children's Hospital, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Other Two and the Wet Hot American Summer franchise.
New cast members on Party Down are going to include Jennifer Garner (The Adam Project), Tyrel Jackson Williams (Brockmire), Zoë Chao (The Afterparty) and James Marsden (Disenchanted) as a recurring star.
