Selome Hailu SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of “The Afterparty,” now streaming on Apple TV+. Instead of deciding on who would make the perfect killer, the writers of Season 2 of “The Afterparty” began their journey by selecting a murder weapon. “It started with thinking that it should be poison, and then thinking that the glass of the poison goes on a journey and doesn’t reach its intended target,” says series creator Chris Miller.
“That would help us create a character who doesn’t have an obvious motive to kill the victim, but then we would need that character to have another secret or murder that’s intended. And what could that be?” Season 2 followed Aniq (Sam Richardson), Zoë (Zoe Chao) and Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) as they find themselves embroiled in a new murder investigation: that of Edgar Minnows (Zach Woods), the husband of Zoë’s sister Grace (Poppy Liu), immediately after their wedding.
The finale reveals that the Edgar was killed by Zoë and Grace’s long-lost uncle Ulysses (John Cho). As detailed in Episode 7, Ulysses’ estrangement began after his affair with Zoë and Grace’s mother, Vivian (Vivian Wu), was discovered by Feng (Ken Jeong), their father and Ulysses’ brother.
At the wedding, he made a drink for Feng as a “peace offering” — it was actually laced with poison — which ends up killing Edgar when he and Feng accidentally switch glasses. Miller, co-showrunner Anthony King and executive producer Phil Lord spoke to Variety about how the end of Season 2 came together, and what future the show may have after the Hollywood strikes end.
