The Afterparty

Tiffany Haddish loves a good party. "The best one I've ever been to was Jay-Z and Beyoncé's Gold Party after the 2020 Oscars," says the comedian, 42. "It was super dope!" Haddish is focused on a different type of gathering in Apple TV+'s comedy The Afterparty—a limited series about a murder mystery set at a high school reunion. "I love the puzzle," says Haddish, who plays the role of Detective Danner. Each episode of the series will investigate the alibi of a different character— and some will even include dance routines. "Fans can expect to be shocked," she adds. Dave Franco, Sam Richardson, Ilana Glazer, Ike Barinholtz and more costar with Haddish, and viewers will get the opportunity "to escape" while staying entertained. As she says, "They'll get to use their brain to figure out whodunit!"

Wolf Like Me

After reading Abe Forsythe's script for Wolf Like Me, Josh Gad and Isla Fisher were both immediately hooked. "This is something that we've never really seen before," says Gad, 40. The new romantic comedy series follows Gary (Gad), a single father and widower trying to put his life back together, and Mary (Fisher), a romance columnist with a secret.

"Mary is burdened by guilt and shame through this enormous secret that prevents her from connecting with people," says Fisher, 45. Still, they wind up falling for each other—and "it gets complex really quickly," says Gad. "They both have been living with a crisis alone and unable to speak to anyone about it." Adds Fisher: "That's really what the show is about: how scary it is to fall in love."
