Hulu Drop Trailer for Unscripted Series “High Hopes”

Hulu’s upcoming unscripted series “High Hopes” offers a unique glimpse into the cannabis industry through the eyes of Belarus-born brothers Slava and Mishka Ashbel and their dedicated team. The six-episode first season, produced by Jimmy Kimmel’s Kimmelot and ITV America, will provide an insider’s view of the challenges and triumphs of expanding a cannabis business.

MMD, one of Hollywood’s oldest cannabis dispensaries, serves as the backdrop for the series. The show will follow the day-to-day operations of the business, including the interactions with its diverse customer base, from celebrities to cannabis enthusiasts. The dispensary is described as a “home away from home” for its employees, who are passionate about their work and committed to expanding the business.

Slava and Mishka Ashbel, at the heart of the series, are on a mission to take their family-owned business to new heights. The brothers aim to expand their dispensary nationwide and launch their own top-shelf cannabis brand. As the season builds up to the industry’s biggest day, April 20th, viewers will witness the challenges and opportunities that arise as the team pursues their ambitious goals.

“High Hopes” promises to deliver a humorous and light-hearted take on the cannabis industry. The show features a diverse cast of characters, including the stoned but dedicated crew members Jared Brady, Sumaiya Islam, Morgan Chanel Lee, Dani Martin, Freddie Miller, and Uriel Valenzuela. Together, they navigate the trials and tribulations of the business, all while maintaining a strong work ethic and a healthy appreciation for cannabis culture.

“High Hopes” boasts an impressive list of executive producers, including Jimmy Kimmel, Scott Lonker, Ben Steinbauer, Tim Cohen-Laurie, and Karl Hollandt. Jennifer Stander serves as co-executive producer, while Ben Steinbauer also takes on the role of showrunner. With their collective expertise and Steinbauer’s comedic sensibility, the series is poised to offer an entertaining and insightful look at the world of cannabis entrepreneurship.
