Disney+ and Hulu Complete Merger into Single App

The merger aims to streamline viewing experiences and bolster Disney's position in the streaming market, though not all Hulu content is available on the new platform.

Overview

  • Disney+ and Hulu have officially merged into a single app, with the Disney+ app now featuring a Hulu tile for Bundle subscribers.
  • Not all Hulu content is available on the merged app; notable exclusions include 'Modern Family' and 'Love Island' due to licensing agreements.
  • The merged service introduces a new logo and branding, aiming to reduce app swapping and increase subscriber numbers.
  • Hulu + Live TV will not be integrated into Disney+ despite the merger, maintaining its status as a separate, valuable service.
  • The merger is part of Disney's strategy to compete more effectively in the streaming wars, with plans to potentially consolidate Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ into one service.
