It was recently announced that Lord Miller is behind the upcoming Apple series "The Afterparty" which is a murder-mystery comedy set at a high school reunion afterparty. Each of the eight episodes will feature a retelling of the same night told through a different character's perspective, each with its own unique visual format and film genre to match the teller's personality.
