Disney’s Plan to Fully Merge Hulu into Disney+ by 2026

In a bold move, Disney announced its plans to shutter Hulu as a standalone app and service by 2026 and fully merge it into Disney+. This decision has raised eyebrows among users who believe that Hulu is superior to Disney+, but Disney chief Bob Iger has outlined several benefits of this integration.

One of the main advantages cited by Iger is increased engagement and lower churn rates. Additionally, the merger is expected to result in significant cost savings for Disney. According to projections by analyst Robert Fishman, Hulu’s programming costs are expected to reach $4.4 billion by fiscal 2027. By combining Hulu with Disney+, Disney can eliminate duplicative technology and administrative costs, leading to additional cost efficiencies.

While the migration of Hulu to Disney+ will involve some costs, the elimination of Hulu’s independent technology stack promises substantial savings for Disney. With Disney now owning 100% of Hulu following the buyout of NBCUniversal’s stake in the streamer, Iger emphasized the operational efficiencies that will result from integrating Hulu into Disney+.

The integration of Hulu into Disney+ is expected to create a unified app experience for subscribers, featuring a mix of branded and general entertainment, news, and sports content. This move will also allow Disney to offer a more personalized streaming experience, leading to higher engagement, lower churn, and greater advertising revenue potential.

Customers will still have the option to purchase standalone subscriptions to Hulu and Disney+, but Iger sees the full integration of the two services driving bundle subscription rates even higher. Disney’s streaming team is focused on experimenting with different content presentation and recommendation strategies to enhance the consumer experience.

Analyst Robert Fishman believes that Disney’s DTC strategy is crystallizing around a unified app experience, with Hulu set to be fully integrated into Disney+. This integration will prioritize one app for customer acquisition and retention, with a focus on product improvements and more efficient recommendation algorithms to drive stronger engagement and reduce churn.

Overall, Disney’s decision to merge Hulu into Disney+ marks a significant shift in its streaming strategy. By creating a seamless and personalized streaming experience for subscribers, Disney aims to grow profitability and margins in its entertainment streaming business while delivering a far better consumer experience.
