17 Years Later, A Major Streaming Service Is Going Away

"Disney's decision to fold Hulu into Disney+ aligns the U.S. streaming model with other countries and provides a unified platform for show access."

"The shutdown of Hulu app in 2026 raises questions about existing Hulu hubs and the viewing experience for subscribers."

Disney plans to integrate Hulu into Disney+ by 2026, following its acquisition of NBCUniversal's stake. This merger aligns the U.S. streaming service with other global platforms already using Disney+ for new episode access. Hulu’s standalone app will be discontinued, although subscribers can still access Hulu's content through Disney+. Future offerings raise concerns about existing Hulu hubs and what consolidation means for subscriber viewing experiences.
