The Mob on Hulu: Cast, Rules, Schedule and Sopranos Link
Mobsters DailyThe Mob is now streaming on Hulu after premiering Monday, October 26, 2026. The first two episodes are available, putting the show’s Don-centered power game—and The Sopranos veteran Aida Turturro—on the board for viewers who want their reality television served with a mob-movie accent.
Hosted by Parker Posey, the competition sends 12 celebrities to an Italian villa to complete “Jobs,” earn money and survive a social hierarchy controlled by an elected Don. Hulu says as much as $250,000 is at stake, while producer STV Studios confirms that new episodes will arrive weekly.

What to know about The Mob on Hulu
- It is streaming now: Hulu lists one season and two available episodes following the October 26 premiere.
- The Don controls the game: The chosen leader decides how money is distributed and which contestant gets “whacked,” the show’s term for elimination.
- The Sopranos connection is real but limited: Aida Turturro is a contestant, but this is an unscripted competition—not a reunion, sequel or Mafia documentary.
How The Mob’s Don game works
The basic format is easy to understand. The celebrity contestants form a “Family” and complete mob-movie-inspired Jobs that add money to the potential prize. The Family chooses a Don, who sits above the group and holds unusual control over both the cash and eliminations.
That power is not secure. The official synopsis asks whether the Family will remain loyal or rise up against its leader, while the trailer establishes that contestants can rally around a rival Don. The result is a game built less on secret identities than on visible authority: everyone knows who holds the chair, and everyone has to decide whether serving that person is safer than replacing them.
Minor premiere spoiler: Coverage of the first two episodes identifies Real Housewives of New Jersey personality Joe Gorga as the first Don. That immediately tests the format’s central tension. The Don can reward allies and protect a coalition, but every favor also shows the rest of the Family where they stand.
Hulu’s mob vocabulary is deliberately theatrical. “Jobs” are challenges, “whacking” means elimination and the Family is a reality-show alliance structure. The series borrows the rituals of gangster cinema without presenting itself as a story about real organized crime.
Aida Turturro gives the show its Sopranos connection
For MobstersDaily readers, Aida Turturro is the clearest reason to sample the series. She played Janice Soprano, Tony’s older sister and one of The Sopranos’ most unpredictable operators. Janice could turn grievance, affection and family history into leverage in a single scene, which makes Turturro an inspired casting choice for a game about loyalty and shifting power.
That connection should not be oversold. The Mob is not a Sopranos spinoff, and Turturro is appearing as herself rather than reprising Janice. The pleasure is in the contrast: an actor associated with one of television’s great family schemers has entered a competition where “Family” is both a team and a threat.

The full celebrity cast and Parker Posey’s role
Parker Posey hosts The Mob and serves as an executive producer. Her job is closer to presiding over the game’s ceremony than competing in it, giving the villa’s betrayals a knowingly heightened tone.
The 12 contestants are Willam Belli, Demi Engemann, Maria Georgas, Joe Gorga, Harry Jowsey, Chelsea Lazkani, Debi Mazar, Bella Palk, Shane Parton, Romeo, Bruno Tonioli and Aida Turturro. The mix spans acting, music, reality television and competition judging, which matters in a format that rewards both social calculation and the ability to command a room.
Studio Lambert and Primal Media produce the series. Studio Lambert’s involvement naturally invites comparisons with The Traitors, but the two games place power in different locations. The Traitors hides its killers; The Mob puts its boss in plain sight and lets everyone calculate the cost of loyalty.

When new episodes arrive and what happens next
Hulu currently shows two episodes in Season 1. STV Studios says new episodes will drop weekly, and recent premiere coverage places the regular release day on Mondays. Hulu’s public series page does not yet display a complete episode-by-episode calendar, so viewers should treat any unofficial schedule beyond the weekly cadence with caution.
The next episodes will determine whether the Don structure can produce the kind of long-term strategy promised by the premise. A powerful leader needs allies, but the rival-Don mechanism gives excluded players a path to organize. The game works only if the chair is valuable enough to fight for and dangerous enough to fear.
That is the real hook after the premiere. The Mob is not asking who secretly belongs to the criminal faction; it is asking how long a public boss can hold power once everyone else realizes the title can be taken. With two episodes now available, viewers no longer have to judge the format by its trailer alone.
