Michael Kittrell, "The Angry Ginger," has gained Internet fame as a result of his viral video being viewed more than 30 million times. Now he's jumping from the Internet to cable TV with this show that Reelz describes as a reality sitcom. "Hollywood Hillbillies" features Michael, his Grandma Mema, Aunt Dee Dee, Uncle "Big" John, and other members of his rural Georgia family as they move to Hollywood and take their rural lifestyle with them. While some people may question whether Kittrell's family is ready for Los Angeles, a more important question may be whether or not Los Angeles is ready for the Kittrells and their redneck antics.
As Michael's time in Los Angeles is coming close to an end, he decides to give his true passion of making music one last chance; the family has some difficult choices to make as they think about their future in Los Angeles.
Michael's manager sends him out on a big audition, but he struggles to prepare with his Mema constantly giving her advice; a temp job as a dog walker puts DeeDee and Johnny at odds.
Mema reluctantly gets a makeover in preparation for her first date in thirty years; Michael makes an appearance at a celebrity autograph signing where Dee Dee's dream of meeting a real life celebrity comes true.
