The Parenting, the upcoming film starring Lisa Kudrow and Brian Cox, has released its unhinged new trailer.
The comedy-horror follows Rohan (Nik Dodani) and Josh (Brandon Flynn) as they host a weekend getaway in a country house with their respective parents. Things take a turn, however, when new guests arrive and discover an evil, 400-year-old entity lurking.
Ahead of its premiere on Max later this month (March 13), HBO has unveiled the latest trailer, showcasing the colourful and hectic characters as they first clash with each other before encountering evil in its most terrifying form.

Further along, we see Kudrow’s foul-mouthed character being attacked by a “demon dog”, with Dean Norris’s John resolving the matter via unconventional methods. As the real malevolent force makes its way through the house, who will live to see another day?
In addition to the aforementioned stars, the cast for The Parenting includes The White Lotus star Parker Posey, Vivian Bang and Edie Falco, with Craig Johnson directing from a screenplay by Kent Sublette.
