Where Is the “Party of Five” Cast Now? A Look at the Stars’ Lives 25 Years After the Series Ended

It’s been 25 years since Party of Five ended and viewers said goodbye to the Salinger siblings.

The hit Fox drama premiered in 1994, following the lives of the five Salinger siblings after their parents were killed in a car crash, leaving the eldest brother Charlie (Matthew Fox) to step up as their guardian. After six seasons, the show came to a close on May 3, 2000, and the Salinger kids — including Neve Campbell and Lacey Chabert — went their separate ways.

During an April 2025 panel moderated by PEOPLE, Chabert said that she and her on-screen siblings all “burst into tears” after filming the show’s final scene.

“I thought it was a really nice way to end the show and I remember we did that take [and] they call, like, ‘That’s a wrap,’ and we just all burst into tears and we hugged and we cried,” she said, adding that it was “really hard to say goodbye in that way.”

Although the siblings each went down their own paths in the end, the actress shared that she and her Party of Five costars have all remained close since the show ended.

“You know, when you spend six years of your life with a group of people, they become family, and so, you know, we all keep in touch and they just mean so much to me,” Chabert said.

From their acting careers to their personal lives, here’s everything to know about where the cast of Party of Five is today.

Matthew Fox as Charlie Salinger

Fox starred as Charlie, the eldest Salinger brother who takes on a guardian role after his parents’ sudden death.

A few years after Party of Five ended, Fox portrayed Jack in the hit series Lost, for which he earned an Emmy nomination. He also went on to appear in 2006’s Smokin’ Aces, 2008’s Speed Racer and 2015’s Bone Tomahawk.

He then took a hiatus from acting before returning to the small screen in 2022, portraying Andy Yeats in the miniseries Last Light, as well as C*A*U*G*H*T a year later.

As for his personal life, Fox and his wife Margherita Ronchi, who were already parents to daughter Kyle when the show ended, went on to welcome another child, son Byron.

Scott Wolf as Bailey Salinger

When Scott Wolf played Bailey — the second eldest of the Salinger siblings — it was only the beginning of his acting career.

After Party of Five, he joined the cast of Everwood, and appeared in several other series, including The Nine, Perception and The CW’s Nancy Drew. Now, he is starring in the Fox medical drama Doc, which is currently streaming on Hulu.

Though he dated his Party of Five costar Paula Devicq while the show was airing, Wolf went on to marry his wife, Kelley, in 2004.

Over the years, the couple have welcomed three children: Jackson, Miller and Lucy.

Neve Campbell as Julia Salinger

After portraying Julia, the middle child of the five Salinger siblings, Campbell went on to star in numerous television series and movies.

Most notably, she returned as Sidney Prescott in multiple Scream films — a role she is set to reprise again in the upcoming 2026 sequel. She also appeared in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer.

During her May 2024 conversation with PEOPLE, Campbell speculated on where Julia might be today, saying, “She’d be a professional writer. That was her thing.”

“She always wanted to be a professional writer,” Campbell continued. “Maybe she’s written a few novels, maybe she’s writing for The New York Times. I don’t know. She’s a bright girl.”

She also added that her character “probably ended up with Justin,” referring to her character’s longtime love interest played by Michael Goorjian, with whom she remains close today.

In fact, her former on-screen love interest is the godfather to Campbell’s two kids — Caspian and Raynor — whom she welcomed with her partner JJ Feild.

Lacey Chabert as Claudia Salinger

Chabert played Claudia, the second youngest of the Salinger siblings.

Once the show ended, she had roles in 2001’s Not Another Teen Movie, 2003’s Daddy Day Care and, of course, 2004’s Mean Girls, in which she starred as Gretchen Wieners.

The actress also went on to appear in at least 40 movies for the Hallmark Channel, including 2015’s A Christmas Melody and 2023’s A Merry Scottish Christmas, in which she and Wolf reunited and played estranged siblings.

Off-screen, Chabert married her husband David Nehdar in December 2013. The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Julia Mimi Bella Nehdar, on Sept. 1, 2016.

Michael Goorjian as Justin Thompson

Goorjian played Julia’s love interest Justin. He was already an acclaimed actor when he joined the Party of Five cast, but his career didn’t slow down when the show ended.

He went on to appear in 2001’s Amerikana and HBO’s The Wizard of Lies, while also directing a few projects, including 2022’s Amerikatsi.

Most recently, he appeared in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer.

Jennifer Love Hewitt as Sarah Reeves Merrin

Jennifer Love Hewitt was just getting started when she played Bailey’s girlfriend Sarah.

She has since starred in several shows, including the CBS hits Ghost Whisperer and Criminal Minds, as well as The Client List.

The actress is currently starring in Fox’s 9-1-1 and is also reprising her role as Julia James in the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel, which will premiere in theaters in July 2025.

As for her personal life, Hewitt married her The Client List costar Brian Hallisay on Nov. 20, 2013, a few days before they welcomed their first daughter Autumn.

The pair are also parents to two sons: Atticus James and Aidan James.

Jeremy London as Griffin Chase Holbrook

Jeremy London appeared in Party of Five as Griffin, one of Julia’s love interests.

When the show ended, he acted in dozens of projects, from 7th Heaven and HBO’s Tell Me You Love Me, to 2013’s The Devil’s Dozen, which he starred in and directed.

Though he has continued acting, London has been involved in several controversies over the years. In June 2010, the actor reported being abducted by several men in Palm Springs, Calif., alleging that they pulled a gun on him and made him take drugs. His mother and brother then publicly doubted him, leading to speculation that he made up the story.

However, London told PEOPLE he felt “vindicated” after one of his kidnappers pleaded guilty in March 2011.

He was then charged with spousal battery in 2012, and arrested in February 2018 for alleged domestic violence. The 2012 charges were ultimately dismissed, and no charges were pressed against him in 2018.

London was married to Melissa Cunningham from 2006 to 2011, during which time they welcomed a son. He then wed his wife Juliet Reeves in 2014. The couple now share a son.

Paula Devicq as Kirsten Bennet Salinger

Devicq played Kirsten, the nanny hired to care for the youngest Salinger, who eventually married Charlie later in the series.

The actress went on to appear in 2010’s First Dog and 2012’s Arbitrage, as well as the legal drama 100 Centre Street.

Scott Grimes as Will McCorkle

Scott Grimes was already an experienced actor (and singer!) when he played Will McCorkle, Bailey’s best friend, in Party of Five — but he hasn’t slowed down since.

He landed roles in the miniseries Band of Brothers, NBC’s hit medical drama ER and American Dad!, as well as several movies, including 2010’s Robin Hood. More recently, he appeared in the Ted prequel series.

After splitting from ex-wife Dawn Bailey, with whom he shares two children, he went on to marry Megan Moore in 2011. The two split in 2017. He then married his Orville costar, Adrianne Palicki, though they have gone their separate ways.

Jennifer Aspen as Daphne Jablonsky

Jennifer Aspen played Daphne Jablonsky, who welcomed a baby with Charlie in Party of Five.

She has since starred in 2007’s Mr. Woodcock, and made guest appearances in several hit shows, including Glee and Grey’s Anatomy.

The actress married her husband, David O’Donnell, on Sept. 2, 2006. They share one daughter.
