The US-based streaming service Hulu – home of shows like Shōgun and the upcoming Alien: Earth – is set to undergo some big changes in the coming months. It was announced today that the service will be fully integrated into a new "unified" Disney Plus app, with the standalone Hulu app to be phased out in 2026.
"Today we are announcing a major step forward in strengthening our streaming offering by fully integrating Hulu into Disney Plus," Disney CEO Bob Iger and CFO Hugh Johnston said in a joint statement. "This will create an impressive package of entertainment, pairing the highest-caliber brands and franchises, great general entertainment, family programming, news and industry-leading live sports content in a single app."
