Disney+ Has Officially Begun Removing Hulu!!

One of the most beloved streaming platforms out there is facing its final days. This one was always more of an inevitability than a surprise, especially after Disney completed its full Hulu takeover in 2025, but now the company is pushing ahead with its plan to fold Hulu entirely into its portfolio.

Disney has now officially confirmed that Hulu subscribers can link their profiles directly to Disney+, so that Hulu watch history, watchlists, recommendations, and in-progress titles can be carried over into the Disney+ app. This comes after Disney had previously confirmed plans to phase out Hulu as a standalone streaming app sometime in 2026, with the goal of creating a more “unified app experience.” In short, Hulu is still here, and people who don’t want to abandon their app and interface don’t have to — at least not for the moment, but it’s another sign that Disney is continuing to move Hulu’s key features into Disney+ piece by piece.

Disney+ Is Adding More Hulu Features

The new profile-linking feature allows Hulu subscribers to bring their viewing activity into Disney+. Titles they have started watching will appear in the Disney+ “Continue Watching” row, while Hulu recommendations and watchlists will also be reflected in the app. Bundle subscribers can connect their Hulu profile to an existing Disney+ profile, while Hulu and Hulu Premium subscribers will be automatically linked to Disney+ for a simpler experience.

Disney is also allowing eligible 18+ profiles to be linked, which is an important part of folding Hulu’s more adult-skewing library into the Disney+ ecosystem. Internationally, Disney has already phased out Star originals and added a Hulu hub, so this latest move feels like another step toward making the Disney+ app the company’s main streaming destination. Disney hasn’t announced price changes yet, though more changes will be coming soon.

That includes a new Live Guide feature that will help subscribers find live content inside Disney+. That will include streams such as ABC News Live and Disney+ Playtime for all Disney+ users, plus ESPN networks for ESPN Unlimited subscribers. Some Hulu features, including Hulu + Live TV and other add-ons, will remain available only through the Hulu app for now. Disney has said those features will move to Disney+ at a later date, but the standalone Hulu app remains unchanged in the meantime.
