Disney+ and Hulu are now available in a single app. A beta version of the combined Disney+/Hulu app went live on December 6 for Disney Bundle subscribers — the sixth tile on the Disney+ homepage next to the Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic brands. Because the Hulu hub incorporates adult-oriented content onto Disney+, Disney released a new video (below) containing instructions for users to update their accounts with an optional pin limiting kids’ profiles from accessing mature content. Following the test period, the merged Disney+ and Hulu app will officially launch in March 2024.

Disney CEO Bob Iger previously announced that the company would roll out “a more unified one-app experience making extensive general entertainment content available to bundle subscribers via Disney+,” adding that the combined app would “provide greater opportunities for advertisers, while giving bundlesubscribers access to more robust and streamlined content, resulting ingreater audience engagement and ultimately leading to a more unifiedstreaming experience.”

Disney, then a majority owner, took full operational control of Hulu in 2019. It recently acquired the remainder of the streaming service from Comcast, paying at least $8.6 billion. While not all Hulu content is available on Disney+ due to licensing-rights restrictions, most NBCUniversal content currently remains available on both the standalone Hulu app and the new Disney+/Hulu app.
