RIP Hulu
Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2026 11:08 am
The streaming service is not going away, but the app itself is being discontinued starting in February. Original content like Only Murders in the Building and next-day broadcasts of ABC and Fox programs will still be available, but the app will be available as part of the Disney+ service. Subscriptions to the former Hulu programming will be purchased through Disney+ either on a standalone basis (as a tab at the top of the Disney+ hub), or bundled with other Disney and/or ESPN programming. The first announced shutdown date is February 5, when Hulu will no longer be available on Nintendo Switch.
I currently get my live programming through Hulu, as well as the various Hulu originals and rebroadcasts (I can also record and save live programming for nine months). I have a bundle with Hulu, Disney+, and the ESPN Unlimited app as separate apps for which I pay $90 a month. I had YouTube Live TV and paid about the same thing a month without Disney, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited. I'm not sure how'll I'll be accessing my programming when this change goes into effect or whether there will be a cost increase (I have a sneaky feeling I know the answer to that one).
