Disney closed a deal with Comcast to buy Hulu's remaining stake, allowing for full control over the streaming service. Disney CEO Bob Iger announced plans to integrate Hulu into the Disney+ platform, centralizing services around one ad server. Viewers will be able to choose between Hulu and Disney+ subscriptions, but access will be through Disney+. The merger also involves plans to combine Hulu With Live TV and Fubo, positioning Disney for long-term dominance in streaming while Hulu's independent identity diminishes.
Disney's acquisition of NBCUniversal's stake in Hulu paves the way for a strategic integration with Disney+, centralizing services around a single ad server and phasing out Hulu's app.
Viewers will still have options for Hulu or Disney+ subscriptions next year, but must access both through Disney+, effectively merging the two services and diminishing Hulu's standalone presence.
