Disney is shaking up streaming with a plan to fuse Hulu into Disney+ by 2026, creating one dynamic app and retiring the standalone Hulu app. Following Disney’s full acquisition of Hulu in 2025, this move promises a vibrant mix of family hits, bold entertainment, news, and top-tier sports content, all in one place.
The unified app aims to elevate user engagement with smarter personalization and boost ad potential. Starting fall 2025, Hulu will replace Disney+’s Star tile globally, cementing its role as Disney’s universal entertainment hub. Standalone subscriptions for both services will still be offered.
As Disney gears up for a separate ESPN streaming launch in August 2025, X buzz shows fans split—some see Hulu’s solo charm fading without standout exclusives.
