Parker Posey To Host Reality Competition Series ‘The Mob’ For Hulu

Parker Posey is swapping a Thai resort for an Italian village as she makes her first move into the treacherous world of reality competition.

The White Lotus star is hosting The Mob for Hulu, a Traitors-style competition format.

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, and 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?

It comes from The Traitors producer Studio Lambert and British producer Primal Media, which was behind horror gameshow Release The Hounds.

The Mob will feature recognizable reality faces including The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Demi Engemann, Dancing with the Stars’ Bruno Tonioli and, most on-the-nose, The Sopranos star Aida Turturro.
