Tiffany Haddish has added the murder-mystery comedy series “The Afterparty” to her long list of upcoming projects. She’ll play a detective tasked with solving a murder that takes place after a high school reunion in the Apple TV+ series, which also stars Tribe members Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer, Dave Franco, and Ben Schwartz. Chris Miller and Phil Lord (“Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse,” “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” “21 Jump Street”) are the executive producers.
On the film side, Haddish has several projects that are in production or awaiting release in 2021. She’ll play a gambling financier in Paul Schrader’s “The Card Counter” opposite Oscar Isaac; appear with Henry Winkler in the dark comic thriller “On the Count of Three;” star in “Here Today” as a street singer who befriends a comedy writer played by Billy Crystal; and join Nicolas Cage in “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.”
Haddish is also in the all-female cast of the Amazon Prime comedy special “Yearly Departed,” which will bid farewell and good riddance to 2020 in comedic eulogies about the trials and upheavals of the past year.
Premiering Dec. 30 and hosted by Phoebe Robinson, the show also includes Sarah Silverman, Natasha Leggero and Rachel Brosnahan, who is one of the producers. The “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” star will soon be seen as a woman on the run in the thriller “I’m Your Woman,” opening in theaters Dec. 4 and launching on Amazon Prime Dec. 11.
