Overview
- Hulu unveiled first-look images, the full celebrity cast and production credits on Thursday and set the U.S. premiere for October 26 with new episodes released weekly.
- Parker Posey will host and serve as an executive producer while Susan House is the showrunner and Studio Lambert and Primal Media produce the series.
- The format sends a roster of celebrities to a lavish Italian villa to complete mob movie–inspired jobs for up to $250,000 and centers on a nominee-elected “don” who controls payouts and eliminations.
- The inaugural cast mixes reality stars and scripted actors, including Willam Belli, Demi Engemann, Maria Georgas, Joe Gorga, Harry Jowsey, Chelsea Lazkani, Debi Mazar, Bruno Tonioli and Aida Turturro.
- Disney+ will carry the series internationally at a later date and the show joins a recent wave of high-concept deception competitions that could heighten streaming competition for fall unscripted premieres.
