Hulu will replace Star on Disney+ internationally on October 8, offering a range of popular shows. Disney aims to position Hulu as a global entertainment destination, integrating it with Disney+ and introducing new features.
Hulu will become a featured section on Disney+ ‘s international platform starting October 8, taking over from Star. This addition will join other popular brands like Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic in the UK and across EMEA.
Disney’s decision to integrate Hulu internationally follows their recent acquisition of Comcast’s stake in the U.S. streaming service. All existing Star content will remain available to subscribers, including popular shows like High Potential, Only Murders in the Building, FX’s Alien: Earth, A Thousand Blows, Rivals, Flintoff, Grey’s Anatomy, and Modern Family.
Upcoming Disney+ titles like All’s Fair, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3, and A Thousand Blows Season 2 will now be part of Hulu’s content library. The goal is to transform Hulu into a global hub for general entertainment.
While rumors of the October 8 launch date surfaced earlier, it was officially confirmed by Disney. In the U.S., the standalone Hulu app is expected to be phased out, with integration into the Disney+ app planned by 2026. Disney has also introduced new design and navigation features on the Hulu app, with a broader redesign of Disney+ scheduled for next year.
These changes coincide with the upcoming price increase for Disney’s streaming services in the U.S., set to take effect on October 21.
