Traitors-esque Reality Competition "The Mob" Coming to Hulu

Parker Posey will play the role that her "Josie and the Pussycats" co-star does on that other reality show.

Hulu is ready to take on The Traitors with its own murderous celebrity competition.

What's Happening:

  • During today's Hulu Get Real House stream, it was announced that a new show called The Mob would be coming to the streamer.
  • As Variety reports, this reality competition will house players in a lavish Italian villa where they'll "shake down, hustle, and whack their way to win up to $250,000 in cash prizes."
  • If you replace "Italian villa" with "Scottish castle" and "whack" with "murder in plain sight," this premise might sound a lot like The Traitors.
  • Well, as it turns out, The Mob comes from the producers of that Peacock series.
  • A teaser for the show was released, soundtracked by The Crystals' classic "Then He Kissed Me."
  • Take a look:

  • Parker Poser (who will always have a place at the Dairy Queen) is set to host and executive-produce the show.
  • Season 1 contestants will include:
    • Aida Turturro (The Sopranos)
    • Willam Belli (RuPaul’s Drag Race
    • Demi Engemann (The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives)
    • Maria Georgas (The Bachelor)
    • Joe Gorga (The Real Housewives of New Jersey)
    • Harry Jowsey (Let’s Marry Harry)
    • Chelsea Lazkani (Selling Sunset)
    • Debi Mazar (Younger)
    • Bella Palk (Love Overboard)
    • Shane Parton (The Bachelorette)
    • Romeo (Rapper)
    • Bruno Tonioli (Dancing With the Stars)
  • According to Variety, each episode will find players taking on mob movie-inspired jobs to survive.
  • Plus, players will have the opportunity to vote for a "don," who will have absolute power.
  • But, can that don be overthrown?
  • A debut date for The Mob has not yet been revealed.

More Reality TV Announcements:

  • Several announcements came during the Get Real House event.
  • First, it was confirmed that ABC is launching a spin-off competition titled Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro.
  • Speaking of spin-offs, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is taking on the O.C. (okay, no one calls it that)
