R.I.P. the Hulu app – the streaming home of Shōgun and Alien: Earth will be "fully integrated" into Disney Plus in 2026

Hulu will become a part of a new "unified" Disney Plus app

www.gamesradar.com

In USA Hulu app will be shut down, Hulu content will be merged into Disney+ with its own branded section

In UK/EU/other the Star section will be rebranded as "Hulu"

Other than differences with subscriptions, globally the Disney+/Hulu/Star experience will now be the same for every country

Looks like I'll just grab a YouTube premium membership instead.

Will I have a streaming app where some content plays (Hulu) and some says additional subscription required (D+), like Amazon?

Because those are bad apps.

Makes sense, none of these services can really justify year round subscriptions, so they gotta collapse into a single service to consolidate content and allow easier cross promotion.

Well they own them. I prefer the HULU app over Disney. But it doesn't matter.

One less service to pay for for folks.

One step closer to one step behind us!

I'm sure D+ will go up in price, I doubt we will get D+/Hulu for less than the D+ hulu combo now.

It's 10.99 with ads, 19.99 with/out currently. Hulu is 9.99, 18.99 stand alone, D+ is 9.99 and 15.99, so they are already almost 'giving' one of them away as it is. Merging the front end makes sense.

I just want a single front end that then goes to which ever service has the content (and I've subscribed to). Amazon sorta does this for some services. But its frustrating to have to go through each of these things to see if a specific show is there.

It was redundant and the Hulu app was getting worse and worse after every update on consoles.
