Disney is planning to fully integrate Hulu with Disney Plus, creating a “unified” app experience that will launch next year, the company announced as part of its earnings results on Wednesday.
The new app will put all of Hulu’s content into Disney Plus, calling the future of Hulu’s standalone app into question.
Disney added a Hulu tile to its Disney Plus app last year, but this only serves as a gateway to select content, even for Hulu subscribers.
A Disney spokesperson told Variety that users will still be able to purchase an individual subscription to Hulu and Disney Plus following the launch of a unified app.
It still remains unclear whether subscribers will be able to access Hulu + Live TV within the standalone Hulu app, or if that will be absorbed into Disney Plus, too.
