The hit new Hulu Original adult animation series, Solar Opposites, has emerged as the most-watched Hulu Original comedy premiere to date, and became the #1 SVOD title on the service since launching last week. Co-created by Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty) and Mike McMahan (producer, Rick and Morty, Star Trek: Lower Decks), Solar Opposites centers on a team of four aliens who escape their exploding homeworld, only to crash land into a move-in ready home in suburban America.
