Perhaps one of the greatest strengths of “The Afterparty” came from the cast of fully fleshed out characters who made this particular high school reunion so compelling in the first place. Dave Franco’s loathsome but inexplicably famous Xavier likely won’t return (although we can’t discount the possibility of more flashbacks, perhaps) after getting pushed off the balcony of his own mansion and falling to his death, kicking off the events of the series. Likewise, Ben Schwartz’s musical-loving Yasper will also remain a longshot to return, given his long-simmering grudge against Xavier that finally boiled over into outright murder. Unless his (former) best friend Aniq pays him a visit in jail, Joker-style, we wouldn’t expect to see him return, either.

Otherwise, we know that Tiffany Haddish’s Detective Danner will once again find her services required in investigating another suspect-laden murder. Both Sam Richardson and Zoë Chao will reprise their roles as Aniq and Zoë, respectively. But viewers will also get to know a bevy of newcomers, such as Zach Woods (“The Office,” “Silicon Valley”) as a character named Edgar, Elizabeth Perkins (“Sharp Objects,” “Weeds”) as Isabel, Poppy Liu (“Dead Ringers,” “Hacks,” “Better Call Saul”) as Grace, Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird,” “Cruella”) as Travis, Anna Konkle (“Pen15”) as Hannah, Jack Whitehall (“Clifford The Big Red Dog,” “Jungle Cruise”) as Sebastian, and Vivian Wu (“Away,” “Dead Pigs”) as Vivian.

Oh, and there’ll be a couple of major additions between Ken Jeong as Feng and John Cho as Ulysses.
