LOS ANGELES — Hulu will broadcast its first original scripted series next month, a political comedy that will debut during the real-life Republican presidential primary.
Hulu’s new show “Battleground” is a look at the inner workings of a Democratic primary campaign for a U.S. Senate seat in Wisconsin. It was created by J.D. Walsh, an actor who worked for John Kerry during a political campaign.
Hulu made the announcement Sunday at the Television Critics’ Association’s winter media tour. Hulu also announced it would make “Up to Speed,” a nonscripted series that looks at historic nooks and crannies of notable destinations around America.
The shows will be available on the free and paid versions of Hulu. The Associated Press
