Whether he’s falling from trees and twisting his ankle or fixing the “bloody internet” for Big Greg, Koala Man is always looking to make a difference.
Koala Manis nearly ready for release, with all eight episodes of the first season premiering on Hulu later this month, with a release date set for Monday, Jan. 9.

The official synopsis forKoala Manreads:
Koala Man follows middle-aged dad Kevin and his titular not-so-secret identity, whose only superpower is a burning passion for following rules and snuffing out petty crime in the town of Dapto. Though it may seem like any other Australian suburb, forces of evil both cosmic and man-made lie in wait to pounce on unsuspecting Daptonians. On a quest to clean up his hometown, and often roping his frustrated family into his adventures, Koala Man stands at the ready. He’ll do whatever it takes to defeat villainous masterminds, supernatural horrors, or worse: jerks who don’t take their rubbish bins down on the proper days.
Justin Roiland, the co-creator ofRick and MortyandSolar Opposites,serves as executive producer on the series. Fans can tune into Hulu on Jan. 9 to watch the first season ofKoala Man, which should be an excellent, action-packed time.
