Is Hulu Shutting Down?

[EvelynLopez]

Can someone clarify whether Hulu is shutting down? I’ve been hearing rumors and I'm not sure what’s true. Any help or insight would be appreciated!

No, Hulu is not shutting down completely. Disney, which owns Hulu, is planning to integrate the content into the Disney+ platform. The standalone Hulu app is expected to be phased out by 2026, but all Hulu shows and movies will still be available under the Disney+ umbrella.

No, Hulu is not shutting down, but the standalone app will be phased out by 2026. Disney, which fully owns Hulu, is integrating its content (shows, movies, and Live TV) directly into the Disney+ platform to create a single, unified streaming service in the US.

No, Hulu is not going offline and stays to be a massive streaming service where new content is released and updated.

Yes, the standalone Hulu app will gradually be discontinued starting from February 2026. Disney is transferring the entire Hulu library to the Disney+ app to have a single platform. You won't miss your favorite shows; however, in the end, you will have to get Disney+ if you want to continue watching them.

Hulu is not going away and remains one of the largest streaming and constantly renews its content and subscription packages.

Yes and no. A standalone Hulu app will be discontinued by mid, 2026 but the service is not ending. Disney has decided to merge all content into the Disney+ app, where Hulu will be a separate section. Hulu subscriptions will still be possible; however, users will be accessing Hulu through Disney+ for a more streamlined streaming experience.

Yes — Hulu is being shut down as a standalone app in 2026. Disney plans to fully integrate Hulu’s content into Disney+, so the separate Hulu app will disappear, though its shows and brand remain inside Disney+ programming.

Hulu will remain, but its separate app will be closed in 2026. The Disney+ app will be getting the whole Hulu library through a merger by Disney to create one single platform. You will not lose your favorite shows; rather, you will be able to watch them through Disney+ instead of the Hulu app.

No, Hulu is not shutting down. The online platform remains running and operating normally and it still provides television shows, films and original content. Sometimes online rumors are posted however Hulu is still out there as a large streaming platform.

No, Hulu is not shutting down. The streaming platform is still active and operating normally and has TV shows, movies, and live TV options. Any rumors concerning Hulu closing are often disinformation or misunderstandings regarding changes of the services.
