Disney didn’t waste much absorbing Hulu into its multimedia maw. After taking full ownership of Hulu <\/a>last November, the company started beta testing integration with Disney+ <\/a>a month later. Today, Hulu on Disney+ is officially coming out of beta<\/a>, making it easy for subscribers to access content for both services. Really, though, it’s a way for Disney to push the value of its Hulu bundle<\/a>, which starts at $9.99 a month with ads. If you want to go ad-free and<\/em> download content for offline viewing, there’s the Duo Premium bundle for $19.99 a month. And if you don’t have a Hulu subscription, you’ll get a notification that you can join within Disney+ for $2 more a month.<\/p>\n Existing bundle subscribers can hop into Hulu’s shows using a new tab on Disney+, and the company says Hulu content like Shogun <\/em>and The Handmaid’s Tale<\/em> will also be highlighted in the main carousel of shows and content recommendations. If you’re old school (like me) and subscribe to Disney+ and Hulu separately, you can also start viewing Hulu content easily (assuming you’re using the same e-mail address for both services).<\/p>\n I didn’t have any trouble launching Shogun on my Disney+ app, but I was disappointed to find that my existing Hulu viewing progress didn’t carry over. That’ll be particularly annoying for people catching up on older multi-season shows, since they’ll have to manually figure out where they left off.<\/p>\n \u201cThis marks the most significant technical, operational, and product evolution for Disney+ since its launch \u2013 one that reflects a wider technology transformation that we have been undertaking,” said Aaron LaBerge, President & CTO, Disney Entertainment & ESPN, in a statement. “That work is going to drive an enhanced, more engaging user experience with Disney+ and lays the foundation for the innovations and enhancements we are planning for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n This article contains affiliate links; if you click such a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Disney didn’t waste much absorbing Hulu into its multimedia maw.
