Disney is rolling out a unified app that will incorporate Hulu's diverse entertainment content into Disney+

In a recent earnings call, Disney Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger confirmed that the unified streaming service will enter the beta phase next month, offering access to existing Disney bundle subscribers.

Currently, these subscribers pay US$9.99 (RM47) monthly with ads and US$19.99 (RM94) without.

The unified streaming service is expected to be launched in late March 2024 and will initially be available to subscribers in the United States

This makes sense since Hulu is currently only available in the US.

However, there have been rumours that Disney may consider extending Hulu's availability beyond the US. This could potentially lead to the merged app being accessible on an international scale.

Users will need a Disney bundle subscription to enjoy the newly merged Hulu Disney app

The Disney bundle offers various combinations of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, with options for both ad-supported and premium configurations, excluding ads on Disney+ and Hulu.

Access to the new app is not limited to premium ad-free bundle subscribers; anyone with a Disney bundle plan is eligible. It appears that upon the app's launch in December, those with a Disney bundle plan should have immediate access to the beta version.

Subscribers in Malaysia are not currently affected

As mentioned earlier, the newly launched app will initially be available in the US.

While Disney has not revealed any information regarding an international launch, it is possible that the feature will be introduced to a global audience in the future.
