ABOUT HULU'S "HIGH HOPES"
“High Hopes” is a workplace reality series following Belarus-born brothers Slava and Mishka, and their stoned crew through the trials and tribulations of taking their cannabis business to new heights. As one of the oldest cannabis dispensaries in Hollywood, MMD attracts a wild mix of weed-loving customers and is a home away from home for their OG employees who work hard and smoke harder! This season builds to their biggest day of the year—4.20—as the gang attempts to expand nationwide and release their own top-shelf cannabis brand. Will they find what they’re looking for or will their hopes go up in smoke? Stream all episodes now on Hulu.
KROQ presents the Dirty Heads 4/20 performance - a Joint Venture with Hulu High Hopes - this Saturday at a secret location in Los Angeles! Watch the live webcast - airing one-time only - this Saturday beginning at 4pm PT.
