In the Koala Man trailer, a family man moonlights as a cuddly crimefighter
Hulu's new animated series Koala Man, from Aussie creator Michael Cusack, follows a mild-mannered dad with a crime-fighting habit and a koala mask
Bob, Peter, Homer, and Stan, look alive: there’s a new patriarchal figure on the block. In 2023, another Animated TV Dad joins the conversation in the form of a middle-aged suburban guy with a secret identity as a koala-masked crime fighter. His name is Koala Man, and his titular series is set to hit Hulu in just under a week’s time.
Koala Man comes from the mind of Aussie creator Michael Cusack, who also voices the titular hero. Known to friends and family as the middle-aged dad Kevin by day, Koala Man busts out his fuzzy alter ego as the lights dim over his suburban town, Dapto. Perched all too precariously in a tree, Koala Man looks out for Daptonians engaging in nefarious behavior like loitering. Koala Man jumps at the chance to stop crime in its tracks—but as a new trailer further indicates, things don’t always go as planned.
