Disney is shutting down Hulu after 20 years — here’s what it means for your favorite shows

In a major shift for streaming, Disney has announced plans to shut down the standalone Hulu app by 2026. The decision follows Disney’s complete acquisition of Hulu, including Comcast’s remaining stake, finalizing the media giant’s control over the platform. Rather than eliminating Hulu content altogether, Disney is integrating Hulu into Disney+ as part of a broader effort to simplify its offerings and improve user experience.
