Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Ken Marino credits his pal Adam Scott for making the unlikely and unexpected “Party Down” revival a reality. “Adam helped guide this and make this happen in a real way,” he tells Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast. “I think everybody in that cast recognized how special it was, and to just kind of go back and to get to do some more, to be with these people again, creatively, it’s a real gift.” The first two seasons of “Party Down” aired on Starz in 2009 and 2010; the revival takes place a decade after the show’s last episode and features the returns of Marino as Ron, the slightly clueless catering manager who now owns the business — well, running it out of his van — and Scott as Henry, the sardonic failed actor who’s now a teacher and working on the side with Party Down to help pay for his alimony.

After waiting 13 years for the long-discussed Season 3 revival of the Starz comedy Party Down, will fans have to wait just as long for another installment?
“Probably,” said showrunner and EP John Enbom today at Deadline’s Contenders TV. “But hopefully [it’ll come] sooner.”
“We would love to do more, and Starz has been so incredible with the show this season that we would do anything to work with them some more,” added actor-EP Adam Scott. “It would be fun.”

The series co-created by Enbom, Rob Thomas, Dan Etheridge and Paul Rudd originally ran for two critically acclaimed seasons from 2009-2010, lingering as a cult classic in the years since after being cancelled in part due to low ratings. It in its first two seasons introduced a troupe of creatives hoping to make it big in Hollywood, as they stumble through their lives, working for a Los Angeles catering company. The six-episode revival picks up 10 years later and finds that most of the Party Down catering team have moved on, including actor/bartender Henry Pollard (Scott). But after a surprise reunion, the gang find themselves once again stoically enduring the procession of random parties and oddball guests all over Los Angeles.
Sunday’s panel also featured director, EP and original cast member Ken Marino, who plays Party Down boss Ron Donald, as well as Season 3 addition Zoë Chao who plays Lucy Dang, a new employee with dreams of making it as a food artist and celebrity chef. Enbom, Scott and Marino reflected during the talk on their journey to bring their passion project back to the small screen, with Enbom noting that “despite the apparent message of the show, we never stopped believing and never gave up, and
