Disney+ Adds Hulu Content for Bundle Subscribers in Beta Launch With FOX Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Nickelodeon & FUNIMATION Titles.
The beta version of Hulu on Disney+ has started to rollout in some homes, the biggest change is the addition of Nickelodeon, FOX, FUNIMATION, Adult Swim and Cartoon Network shows on the house of mouse streaming platform.
Beginning Dec. 6, the significant majority of Hulu content will be available on Disney+ in the U.S. for subscribers of both services. It’s phase one of the Disney+/Hulu integration plan, first outlined by CEO Bob Iger earlier this year. The initial “beta” of Hulu on Disney+ will be followed by the launch of a more integrated version in March 2024.
Disney’s expectation is that by mixing Hulu programming into Disney+, customers will spend more time overall watching stuff — thereby cutting churn and customer-acquisition costs, as Iger said on the company’s earnings call last month. Next year, the Mouse House intends to begin promoting Disney+/Hulu bundles more aggressively.
