Where to Watch “Party Down”: Starz, Hulu, The Roku Channel “Party Down” remains one of the great TV comedy balancing acts.

“We did all that work on hiatus, then continue to have a couple of Zoom meetings throughout Season 6 of ‘Saul’ so that the second I got back, we could do some physical production prep, and then go ahead and shoot it,” Seehorn said. “The majority of the people that are on ‘Cooper’s Bar’ are friends of mine, and we just wanted to do something together.
