From autumn 2025, Hulu will replace the Star hub within Disney+ in international markets. A unified Disney+ and Hulu app is set to roll out globally in 2026, though subscribers will still be able to purchase each service individually.

Disney could eliminate billions in operating expenses by merging Hulu fully into Disney+ and phasing out Hulu as a standalone app and service.

Currently, both Disney+ and Hulu are available as standalone subscriptions. Disney+ starts at $7.99 per month with ads, while the ad-free version costs $13.99 per month. Hulu’s ad-supported plan also begins at $7.99 per month, with its ad-free tier priced at $17.99 per month.
