Did You Win? A Battleground Retrospective

Voxwell Productions

Battleground debuted on Hulu in 2012, one of the very first original scripted programs developed by and for a streaming service. Though it only lasted one season, the politically charged workplace mockumentary helped redefine what we consider and consume as television. Now, 10 years later, the cast, crew, and creators of Battleground invite you to listen in and watch along as we take a look back at our trailblazing show and answer the question: "Did you win?"
