More than a year after launching its " Hulu on Disney Plus experience " in the US, Disney announced plans Wednesday to completely integrate Hulu into its Disney Plus streaming service. Additionally, Hulu will become available internationally once the merger happens next year, the company shared in its third-quarter earnings report.

Disney CEO Bob Iger says Hulu and Disney+ will be "integrating" in 2026. But Hulu isn't shutting down. Here's what users and viewers can expect.

However, the Disney press drums don't end with the announcement of ESPN's new streaming service launching on August 21 and the NFL and WWE deals. Disney's other major streaming service, Hulu, is set for a major overhaul in 2026.
