Hulu as a standalone streaming app will be phased out and fully integrated into Disney+ by 2026. Starting October 8, 2025, Hulu will replace the Star brand in Disney+'s international markets and serve as the general entertainment hub. In the U.S., Hulu's content will increasingly be merged into the Disney+ app with a unified streaming experience expected in 2026, when the Hulu app itself will disappear. However, the Hulu brand will continue to exist within Disney+, particularly for international audiences, under the label "Hulu on Disney+".
In summary, Hulu will "go away" as a standalone app sometime in 2026, but its content and brand will live on within Disney+.
