Recently, The Walt Disney Company hosted an earnings call to go over the latest financial reports.

During this call, we learned a lot about what Disney has planned for the future, including turbocharging growth in the experiences section of the company and increasing content spending. But in addition to those goals, we got more information about changes coming to Disney’s streaming services in the near future.
At the end of the earnings call, a question was asked about the integration of Disney+ and Hulu, requesting an update on the merger’s progress. Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro answered, saying that Hulu subscribers can link their profiles and watch history on Disney+ while getting a “personalized and unified experience.” There’s still more work to be done, but some big changes are coming later this year.

D’Amaro shared that by the end of 2026, Hulu subscribers will see live TV and other add-ons rolling out. Also, the Verts section will be strengthened by Disney’s new deal with TikTok. Disney+ has the opportunity to be an aggregator of third-party services through bundles and add-ons.

As it currently stands, you can access a dedicated Hulu portal through your Disney+ and Hulu bundle to see the content that’s important to you. A few months ago, Disney+ announced it would begin testing a live guide, where subscribers can easily search for live content — this will likely integrate into the changes D’Amaro was discussing during the earnings call.
