Disney+ to Replace Star With Hulu in International Markets on Oct. 8

The rebrand consolidates Disney’s general‑entertainment under a single label recognized beyond the U.S.

Overview

  • A new Hulu hub inside Disney+ will house mature and prestige series that previously sat under Star, including The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, Alien: Earth, The Simpsons and Grey’s Anatomy.
  • Disney+ will debut refreshed navigation that features dedicated sections for Hulu, ESPN, Disney+ and a personalized For You row.
  • Existing parental controls and PIN‑protected profiles will continue to govern access to age‑restricted programming.
  • U.S. subscription prices rise on October 21, 2025, while Disney has not announced corresponding tariff changes for Latin America tied to the Hulu rollout.
  • The shift follows Disney’s 2025 purchase of Comcast’s remaining Hulu stake and the international catalog will reflect Disney‑controlled content rather than the full U.S. Hulu lineup reliant on third‑party licensing.
