Hulu Nabs “Koala Man” From Michael Cusack/Justin Roiland
A few years ago we covered Michael Cusack’s original series Koala Man when it premiered in Australia with a number of shorts, and now we have the announcement that Hulu is getting the American-take of the Aussie character.
That’s right, Michael Cusack’s Koala Man has been ordered for eight episodes for Hulu. The series follows a wannabe superhero dad who tries his best to fight crime and bring order to his neighborhood. Pokémon Detective Pikachu co-writers Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit are going to be the showrunners, and also writing/producing with Cusack. Justin Roiland is producing and animation will be done by a collaboration of 20th Century Animation and the new Bento/Princess Pictures joint studio effort that was announced last week.
Read our review of the original Koala Man series here. Cusack’s other credits include Yolo: Crystal Fantasy, Smiling Friends, and the Bushworld Adventures for Adult Swim. Justin’s Solar Opposites drops it’s second season on Friday for which you can read our review of here.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
