Selecting the Hulu option will take you to the “Hulu Hub,” where you’ll be able to access thousands of movies and TV shows available through the service. The experience is also available to people who subscribe to Disney Plus and Hulu separately, as long as both accounts are linked to the same email address.

The new experience looks very similar to how things are set up on Disney Plus, but it doesn’t feel complete yet. It still doesn’t have a sidebar for quick access to different categories, such as movies, series, originals, or your watchlist.
I also noticed that Hulu on Disney Plus doesn’t give me a “Continue Watching” queue. When I picked a show I’d already watched several episodes of, it didn’t pick up where I left off in the standalone Hulu app. Hopefully, Disney will sync your viewing history and progress between apps before the hub officially launches in spring 2024.
