Parker Posey is swapping The White Lotus resort for a lavish Italian villa as she fronts a brand new reality competition series.
Made by Studio Lambert, the production company behind The Traitors, The Mob sends a group of famous faces to an Italian villa where they will shake down, hustle and whack their way to win up to $250,000.
In each episode, the celebrities will tackle mob movie-inspired jobs to survive, but every mob family needs a don…
The synopsis reads: “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 up and overthrow them?”
The Mob features an all star cast, including Demi Engemann (The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives), Bruno Tonioli (Dancing with the Stars) and Aida Turturro (The Sopranos).
Other cast members include William Belli (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Joe Gorga, (The Real Housewives of New Jersey), Harry Jowsey (Too Hot to Handle), Chelsea Lazkani (Selling Sunset), Debi Mazar (Younger), Bella Palk (Love Overboard), Romeo, Maria Georgas (Bachelor Nation) and Shane Parton (Bachelor Nation).
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.”
Primal Media’s Adam Wood and Mat Steiner added: “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.
“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’.”
