Joe Gorga Hunts $250K & Italy Trip in New Hulu Series

Joe Gorga is venturing from family drama on The Real Housewives of New Jersey into a new competition series on Hulu titled "The Mob." Premiering on October 26, 2026, the show transports contestants to an Italian villa for challenges inspired by mob movies. The ultimate prize includes up to $250,000 in cash and a trip to Italy.

Gorga, whose family background has purported mafia connections, felt a personal connection to the theme. He co-hosted the series announcement on Good Morning America with fellow contestant Harry Jowsey. Jowsey, an Australian reality star, admitted his primary motivation was the prize money and the Italian excursion, rather than deep knowledge of mob films.

The series features a cast of familiar faces from unscripted television, including Bruno Tonioli, Chelsea Lazkani, Willam Belli, and Maria Georgas. These contestants will face challenges that emulate gangster film tropes, with opportunities to elect a leader, or "don," each episode.
