Disney+, Hulu Raise Monthly Pricing on Streaming Plans in U.S. Again
The updated prices apply to new subscriptions as of Wednesday. Current subscribers will get a price change on or after October 21.
The streamer previously raised its prices in October 2025, and before that raised its price in October 2024. Disney+ also raised its prices and revealed plans to restrict password sharing for accounts in October 2023.
Disney+ announced in August 2025 that it is "fully integrating" the Hulu streaming service, along with a new singular app with both Disney+ and Hulu services, which will launch in 2026. The subscription services will remain standalone, but both Disney+ and Hulu will be accessible from the unified app. Disney already offers bundles including both Disney+ and Hulu. In addition, a significant amount of content, including anime, from the Hulu library already streams on the Disney+ for subscribers of both.
Disney owns 100% of Hulu, after acquiring Comcast's 33% stake in Hulu for US$8.61 billion in 2023.
Before Disney acquired the entirety of Hulu, anime that streamed on Disney+ internationally would stream in the U.S. on Hulu instead. Currently, anime still stream on Hulu, but now also stream on Disney+ for subscribers of both services.
