- Disney announced that Hulu will soon go worldwide
- Hulu will replace Star in the Disney +application, a change that will take place internationally from October 8
- He followed a period of reaction to subscribers, who recently canceled the subscriptions and called the price increases of the platform
If you fear that Hulu will not disappear as part of the new Disney + “unified” application which arrives in 2026, do not fear – if anything, it is about to become even greater.
After the August announcement that Hulu and Disney + would be integrated into a single application in 2026, the Walt Disney Company unveiled plans to take the Hulu Global platform instead of getting rid of it.
Since October 8, Hulu will become the “Global General Entertainment” brand on Disney +. He will replace Star, a center in the application which offers non -American subscribers of entertainment from other platforms belonging to Disney.
When the integration between the two services was initially announced, Disney CEO, Bob Iger, addressed Hulu replacing Star in Disney +, declaring that “he will replace the Star Tile on Disney +internationally” and that the change would be joined by “many improvements within the Disney +application”. Well, these changes are now on our doors.
Although this decision means an increase in the international exposure of Hulu, Disney + itself recently crossed the spinner. He lost a significant amount of subscribers and triggered the frustration of his last price increases, which apply both to individual levels and bundle agreements with Hulu and HBO Max.
Not only Hulu obtains a designated place in the Disney +ecosystem, but it is also joined by a list of new design upgrades on your home screen, starting with a new navigation bar.
At the top of the home page, you will find a new navigation bar with four tabs, the one “for you” being the first thing you see when you launch the Disney +application. Depending on your subscription plan, there will also be tabs for Disney +, Hulu and ESPN, which facilitates the libraries of each platform. Disney also adds new tags such as “Final season”, “New Series” and “New Movie” to identify the appropriate content.
What else is new?
There will also be new visual elements to come on the home page, which Disney describes as “more modern and intuitive”. You will find a new video display in the carousel highlighting the new versions of each brand, as well as on the new posters on sets of content – but Disney also improves its iOS experience.
Widgets have become very popular since the deployment of new personalization parameters in iOS 26, and soon Disney + will launch its own to “add another front door to take users directly to our programming in one click”.
The streaming platform has also teased exclusive exclusive mobile experiences which should arrive in the coming year, which, according to Disney, will help engage new audiences.
