We chat with the newest faces of PartyDown, Tyrel Jackson Williams (Tyreljwill) and Zoë Chao about picking up trays, playing Sackson & Lucy Dang, and joining the cast of the cult classic STARZ comedy:
After a 13-year hiatus and plenty of rumors about a reboot in the works, Party Down has finally returned to Starz. Although the series only enjoyed a two-season run from 2009 to 2010, a word-of-mouth following sprouted up in the years since. The show became beloved by freelancers in pursuit of creative careers for obvious reasons, but eventually found a wider audience thanks to its smart writing and star-studded original cast, nearly all of whom have returned for this new iteration.
Zoë Chao and Tyrel Jackson Williams on Party Down Screen Rant: Did either of you have any relationship with Party Down before you did this? Had you watched the show, or did you brush up on it after you got the role? Tyrel Jackson Williams: I had sort of grown up around fans of Party Down. When the show was initially airing it was a bit too young to watch it, but it was sort of like this massive iceberg that was floating by, [with] people being like, "Party Down was insane." Then, the opportunity to be on it came up, and I hit it.
Is there something specific about each of your characters that was your favorite thing to play or dive into?
