After the Party on ABC – Penny’s (Robyn Malcolm) friends counsel her to put the past behind her, for the sake of her relationship with Grace (Tara Canton) and her grandson.
But Penny is struggling with Phil’s (Peter Mullan) return and despite her attempts to play happy families, she causes an argument at Walt’s (Ziggy O’Reilly) birthday party.
When Phil takes a high school teaching job, Penny tries to warn the principal of the school but is dismissed.
A sneaky attempt to dig up more about Phil’s years away leads Phil to warn her to back off, or risk losing Grace and Walt. Penny takes her friendship with Simon (Dean O’Gorman) too far.

About the Show
The ABC is thrilled to announce the Australian premiere of one of New Zealand’s boldest dramas, After The Party, to air weekly on ABC TV, with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview from Sunday 28 April.
“New Zealand’s best TV drama in years… A career peak for Robyn Malcolm… boiling, relentless and dangerous.”
– The Spinoff, NZ
Produced by Lingo Pictures and Luminous Beast on location in Wellington NZ, After The Party is a thrilling 6-part series starring Robyn Malcolm (Upper Middle Bogan, Harrow, Top of the Lake) and Peter Mullan (Ozark, Top of the Lake). Last week, Robyn Malcolm won Best Actress in Series Mania’s International Panorama in Lille, France for her role as Penny.
Penny’s world implodes when she accuses her husband Phil (Peter Mullan) of a sex crime against her daughter’s teenage friend and nobody believes her.
Five years later, he returns from Scotland and moves in with Penny’s daughter Grace (Tara Canton) and grandchild. Grace begs her to put the past behind them, but when Phil takes up a teaching position Penny is again compelled to prove his guilt, reopening barely covered wounds in those around her and causing Grace to cut her out of her life. An increasingly alienated Penny is forced to choose what’s more important – the truth or her relationship with her daughter.
