Fans of The White Lotus have their sights set on the future as season 4 takes shape — though it feels like we were just watching the third installment's new episodes as they dropped on HBO.

Season 3 had its fair share of Emmy nominees, including the reliably superb Parker Posey. She also has her eyes on the future these days, given that we've learned of an exciting new reality series she'll be hosting — and executive producing.

Per magazines including Variety, Hulu announced on Wednesday, April 22 that it has given a series order to The Mob, a competition show that will follow celebrities as they check into a lavish Italian villa and proceed to "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."

As part of the twist, the group of celebrities must vote to make one of them the mob family “don” — giving that person absolute power to decide “who makes money, who stays, and who ultimately gets whacked," Variety also noted on Wednesday. But will that don maintain the family’s loyalty, or will they ultimately be overthrown?

Their statement continued, "A world where charm, strategy, and survival instincts all collide. We’re thrilled to be co-producing the series with Studio Lambert for Hulu, working with a fearless cast of celebrities who are all primed 'to whack or be whacked.'"
