Peacock’s American version of The Traitors became a runaway hit thanks to its expert casting method—assembling teams of familiar faces from reality TV and pop culture. As it turns out, fans are excited to tune in when they recognize the contestants. Now, Hulu is following suit with its own celebrity-starring competition show, The Mob.
Indie film icon and White Lotus alum Parker Posey hosts the new reality series, which premieres on October 26, 2026, and the streamer describes as being “built around power, loyalty, and survival.” Each episode, contestants compete in challenges inspired by jobs from classic mob movies, with the cast deciding who gets to stay in “The Family” of The Mob. The cast includes faces you’ll recognize from the Bravoverse and hit franchises like The Bachelor, as well as scripted series. Ahead, we break down the stars vying for the cash prize and bragging rights to the ultimate Don in The Mob season 1.
