Beginning next year, the Hulu app will be fully integrated into the Disney+ app, meaning subscribers will be able to go to one app to access their favorite Hulu and Disney+ content. Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Co., which owns both Hulu and Disney+, announced the new streamlined app Wednesday during the company's quarterly earnings call.

Disney has been haggling for total control of Hulu for two years and, in June, announced it had bought out NBCUniversal’s remaining one-third stake. In June, Disney paid $438.7 million to Comcast, NBCUniversal’s parent company, in addition to the $8.61 billion it spent in Nov. 2023, amounting to a whopping total of $9 billion.

In major streaming service news, Hulu will be fully integrated into Disney+ by 2026 to create one unified app.
