Netflix just got all 3 seasons of this canceled cult comedy with Adam Scott, Paul Rudd and a shocking number of Hollywood stars

Netflix has acquired all three seasons of the canceled cult comedy "Party Down," featuring a star-studded cast including Adam Scott, Paul Rudd, and numerous Hollywood celebrities. Although the sitcom about the lives of Los Angeles cater-waiters premiered on Starz in 2009 and faced low expectations, it managed to captivate a loyal fanbase.

The show's satirical take on Hollywood, supported by a talented ensemble cast, earned it two seasons on Starz before being revived with a third season in 2023. The cast includes Adam Scott, Paul Rudd, Lizzy Caplan, Jane Lynch, Ken Marino, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen, Megan Mullally, Jennifer Coolidge, and Jennifer Garner. The three seasons now stream on Netflix, offering viewers a chance to experience this caustic, hilarious, and well-acted comedy with its fair share of heartbreaking moments.

Passkey Sign-In for a Small Site Without Storing Emails: The 5 Server Steps

I'm building ClientN, so read this as a founder's walkthrough, not a neutral review. Most small sites keep a users table with an email column only because the login needs one.

  • Server initiates session with POST /api/v1/sessions
  • ClientN provides session id, confirm URL, QR code, match code
