HBO Max has unveiled the first look of one of the popular dark comedy shows, Search Party Season 5 with some bittersweet news.

They frequently indulge in a messy private investigation. Throughout the first three seasons, they dealt with semi-accidental murder, goofy cover-ups, and breathtaking trials. But in the fourth season, a psychotic stalker kidnapped Dory, which later resulted in her friends becoming a search party again.
