Max Original Horror-Comedy THE PARENTING Premieres This March

Brian Cox, Edie Falco, Lisa Kudrow, Dean Norris, Parker Posey and Nik Dodani star.

Max's original horror-comedy feature The Parenting, which follows a couple who rents a haunted countryside house for a weekend with their parents, debuts on March 13.

Directed by Craig Johnson (Wilson, Alex Strangelove), The Parenting boasts a star-studded cast of Brian Cox, Edie Falco, Lisa Kudrow, Dean Norris, Parker Posey, Nik Dodani, Brandon Flynn and Vivian Bang.

Written by Kent Sublette, The Parenting follows:

[…] young couple Rohan and Josh as they plan a perfect weekend getaway in the country to introduce their parents.  As tensions begin to flare between the more traditional Sharon and Frank and the laid-back Liddy and Cliff, the families soon realize that their rental – managed by eccentric local Brenda – is haunted by the presence of a 400-year-old poltergeist. When one parent becomes thoroughly possessed, it’s up to the young couple and their meddlesome BFF Sara to unite the families and stop the evil entity once and for all. 

The horror-comedy was produced by Chris Bender and Jake Weiner with executive producers Richard Brener, Chris Pan, David Neustadter, and Jared Ian Goldman.
