Straight out of The White Lotus, the iconic actress Parker Posey moves into the wild world of reality TV, hosting Hulu’s The Mob.
The actress will be the face – and an Executive Producer – of Hulu’s Traitors-style competition format.
The premise:
“The Mob sends a group of celebrities to a lavish Italian villa where they will shake down, hustle, and whack their way to win up to $250,000 in cash prizes.”
“Every episode, they will tackle mob movie-inspired jobs to survive. But every mob family needs a don. Whoever they choose will have absolute power — deciding who makes money, who stays, and who ultimately gets whacked.”
“In a game where power demands absolute loyalty, can the don stay in control? Or will the family rise and overthrow them?”
The who’s who:
The Mob will feature recognizable reality faces, including Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Joe Gorga, actress Debi Mazar, Demi Engemann from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Dancing with the Stars judge Bruno Tonioli, and The Sopranos star Aida Turturro.
Additionally, RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Willam Belli, Harry Jowsey, Selling Sunset’s Chelsea Lazkani, Love Overboard’s Bella Palk, rapper Romeo, and Maria Georgas & Shane Parton from Bachelor Nation complete the cast.
What the suits are saying:
Jack Burgess, President of Studio Lambert USA said, “We’re happy to bring our expertise to Primal’s fun idea, and Hulu is a great home for it.”
“We love reality TV and the whole mafia genre.”
“With The Mob we wanted to create an addictive format centred around the most powerful contestant in reality TV history,” added Primal Media’s Adam Wood and Mat Steiner.
“A world where charm, strategy, and survival instincts all collide. We’re thrilled to be co-producing the series with Studio Lambert for Hulu, working with a fearless cast of celebrities who are all primed ‘to whack or be whacked.’”
