STARZ ENTERTAINMENT CATERS TO HOLLYWOOD WITH START OF PRODUCTION ON “PARTY DOWN”
Ken Marino, Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen and Lizzy Caplan
Hired To “Serve” Tinseltown In New Original Series
Englewood, Colo. – December 17, 2008 – A cast of some of the brightest young acting talent has begun to “Party Down,” and the Hollywood catering business will never be the same. Production has started in
Los Angeles on “Party Down,” the new original series from Starz Entertainment, in association with its television production sibling Starz Media. This is the first series Starz Media is producing for Starz.
“Party Down” 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.
Starz has tapped Ken Marino (“Veronica Mars,” Role Models), Adam Scott (“Tell Me You Love Me,” Step Brothers), Jane Lynch (Role Models, The 40 Year Old Virgin), Martin Starr (Knocked Up, “Freaks and Geeks), Ryan Hansen (“Veronica Mars,” Friday the 13th 2009) and Lizzy Caplan (“True Blood,” Cloverfield) to star in the project from creator Rob Thomas (“Veronica Mars,” “Cupid”). The show will air in March as a companion to the returning comedy series “Head Case,” starring Alexandra Wentworth.
The series is created and executive produced by Rob Thomas, along with John Enbom, Paul Rudd and Dan Etheridge. Enbom also serves as show runner. Co-executive producers are Jennifer Gwartz and Danielle Stokdyk. Jennifer Dugan will produce the series. William J. Hamm, executive vice president, originals productions, Starz Media, will oversee production.
“’Party Down’ is going to be a terrific addition to our originals lineup and we’re pleased to have it as our first in-house collaboration with Starz Media,” said Stephan Shelanski , executive vice president programming, Starz Entertainment. “You can’t ask for anything better than to have the powerhouse team of Rob Thomas and Paul Rudd (Role Models, Knocked Up) attached as executive producers, as well as a highly talented cast.”
“Party Down” is the latest addition to Starz’ original programming lineup. The channel’s first dramatic series, “Crash,” a co-production with Lionsgate, premiered October 17. Starz also features “Starz Inside,” a series featuring original specials examining people, trends and culture in movie entertainment hosted by film critic Richard Roeper.

which is unwatchable...guess cable is slowly giving up on movies and moving towards doing what broadcast is about to cease doing...creating original programing....and that is the impact of the internets for ya...2 items of note...cable tv is forcing studios to pull certain movies from netflicks and itunes and there will be no sag strike...
-
Pedigree, you see.
-
So he's got this, Cupid, and Good Behavior all coming up. He's a busy guy. If any of these are as good as Veronica Mars then I'm on board.
-
in hospitality again, they get an acting gig portraying the hospitality industry. Funny no?
-
best line ever
-
The Veronica Mars movie. Ok, he really shouldn't be since he actually wants a successful career and everything, but I still WANT him to be focusing on that.
-
...Mac & Me when he is at Conan?
-
I'm glad he's remaining so busy, and the cast for this sounds great, but one of my main interests in VM was due to his story plotting and writing.
-
That's who Rob Thomas should concentrate on.
-
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum etc.
-
I'll be watching then.
-
so this is already a non-starter for me. Has anybody bothered to compare VM's ratings with whatever dreck replaced it?

Don't f it up.
-
If Rudd were starring in this I might be more excited, but with Enbom running it (along with a solid cast...especially Vinny and Dicky) it's definitely worth checking out.
-
FUCK YOU FOX! i though Kc was hilarious, but it got cancelled. thought VM was great and it got cancelled as well!. dont worry rob, i'll be watching! make it good son, make it good.
-
I'll watch this just for him. It's great to see so many from The State getting quality work again.
-
Pennsy, what say you, my man?
-
Just wanted to not the irony of the other Starz TV show "Crash" not being filmed in LA but in Albuquerque.
