Max Original Poltergeist Comedy ‘The Parenting’ Sets March Debut

A weekend getaway to meet the parents turns into a terrifyingly funny fight against a poltergeist in Max Original film The Parenting, set to debut next month.

Look for The Parenting to arrive on Max on March 13, 2025.

The film 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 comedy horror movie also boasts an impressive cast. The Parenting stars Nik Dodani (Rohan), Brandon Flynn (Josh), Brian Cox (Frank), Edie Falco (Sharon), Lisa Kudrow (Liddy), Dean Norris (Cliff), Parker Posey (Brenda), and Vivian Bang (Sara).

The film hails from director Craig Johnson (The Skeleton Twins) and “Saturday Night Live” scribe Kent Sublette. It’s produced by Chris Bender and Jake Weiner; executive producers include Richard Brener, Chris Pan, David Neustadter, and Jared Ian Goldman.

Max has unveiled new key art ahead of the film’s March premiere, warning that meeting the parents is a necessary evil.
