Chris Miller, creator of The Afterparty, reveals a hidden detail that pointed to the killer’s true identity that few fans picked up on.In the season finale “Vivian and Zoë,” it’s revealed that the person who killed Edgar Minnows (Zach Woods) on his wedding night was, ironically, the person who had the least motive to do so: Ulysses Zhu (John Cho), the bride’s globetrotting uncle, whose real motive was to kill his brother Feng (Ken Jeong) in a desperate attempt to rekindle his affair with Feng’s wife Vivian (Vivian Wu). In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, series creator Christopher Miller said that he followed fan theories on the mystery on Reddit as the series progressed, but points out one clue throughout the series that few caught.”One that they missed was that Edgar Minnows’ name itself was created as an anagram of ‘wrong man dies,'” Miller said. “And we were so nervous that it was too obvious that we put in some red herring clues for anagrams of his name that did get solved on Reddit. One was a sign at the swimming pool that says ‘danger no swim,’ which is also an anagram of Edgar Minnows, and the name of the gin that Isabel drinks is ‘Manors Dew Gin,’ which is also an anagram of Edgar Minnows. We tried to put chum in the water and make people not sure what it was, but they never caught on to the core concept of his name.”RELATED: The Afterparty Director Eric Appel Breaks Down the Series’ Most Dramatic Episode
