Disney’s killing off the Hulu app, and that could be an expensive problem for you

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-09 02:27:31

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Disney is currently the sole owner of Hulu. While Disney has added Hulu content to Disney Plus, so far the apps have continued to exist separately. That’s set to change next year, as Disney shutters the Hulu app in favor of full Disney Plus integration. The streaming landscape is messy, to put things mildly.
