Parker Posey’s chaotic farmhouse renovation could become a mockumentary TV show
Parker Posey is contemplating transforming her upstate farmhouse renovation into a television show. The actress has shared her plans with contractors and even discussed a mockumentary-style format. Her project has already encountered challenges, from frozen pipes to rising costs.
Posey has spent months updating her farmhouse, focusing on the kitchen and insulation. The work has proven more expensive and time-consuming than anticipated. At one point, freezing pipes added to the delays.
She has long been a fan of home-improvement programmes and sees humour in working with real tradespeople. Posey envisions a show where she interacts with plumbers, electricians, and builders—possibly in the style of a Christopher Guest mockumentary. Jason Bateman even suggested she could film the process for Discovery, which shares a parent company with HBO, to help cover the costs.
The actress has also hinted at a possible guest appearance from Jennifer Coolidge. While no network or production company has been confirmed, Posey remains open to the idea. Meanwhile, she is considering selling her East Coast home and relocating to Hollywood, a move that goes against current industry trends.
Posey’s renovation has already brought unexpected problems and creative ideas. If the show moves forward, it could blend comedy with real-life home improvement. For now, the project remains a personal challenge—with potential for something bigger.
