Hulu Goes Global on Disney+ Oct. 8: What You Need to Know

Get ready, Disney fans! Starting on October 8, Disney is shaking things up by making its Hulu subscription streaming platform the international tile on the Disney+ streaming service. This means that the “Star” brand will be replaced, giving Hulu a new spotlight on a global scale.

Since February 23, 2021, India-based Star has been Disney’s go-to international brand within the Disney+ streaming service. It played a big role in drawing in subscribers, especially with its exclusive access to Indian Premier League cricket matches. But now, it’s Hulu’s turn to shine internationally as part of the Disney+ family.

Disney isn’t stopping there. They are also updating the home page to make it easier for subscribers to access all their favorite streaming services – Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN. A new navigation bar at the top of the home page will help users seamlessly switch between the different platforms, depending on their subscription. The “For You” tab is the first thing users will see when they log in, offering personalized recommendations based on viewing habits.

The new design aims to be sleek and user-friendly, with a focus on helping viewers discover new characters and stories. Expect to see more cinematic poster-style artwork and dynamic displays of the latest titles from each brand. Disney is also adding new features like badging tags to highlight special content, like season finales or new series.

Plus, Disney is expanding user profiles to ensure that each viewer gets personalized recommendations tailored to their tastes. So, get ready for a more customized and intuitive streaming experience across Disney’s platforms.

Exciting changes are coming to Disney+ starting on October 8, so mark your calendars and get ready to explore all the amazing content that Disney, Hulu, and ESPN have to offer!
