The overall Hulu service is not shutting down, but it is becoming an integrated asset in the Disney entertainment world. Hulu will be branded as Disney's new "global general entertainment brand" and will replace the Star tile in the Disney+ international app in the fall of 2025.

Disney said it is “fully integrating” the Hulu service, which it now owns 100%, into its flagship Disney+ streamer. A new “unified” Disney+ and Hulu streaming app will be available in 2026, the company said.

Disney is taking a major step toward simplifying its streaming services by fully merging Hulu into the Disney+ platform.
