Coinciding with Disney's takeover of Hulu, it was also announced that an international rollout of the service was planned. However, in August 2020, Disney confirmed that the international counterpart for Hulu would instead be branded under [[Creator/{{Star|DisneyPlus}} STAR]] (named after Star India, another asset Disney purchased from Fox) due to the lack of the Hulu name's appeal outside the US and Japan, and would not feature any third-party content shown on the US service. Instead, the upcoming STAR service will feature content from the namesake Star India, Hulu original programming and content from Disney's non-branded studios including Creator/{{ABC}}, Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios, [[Creator/FXNetworks FX]], and most films from Creator/TouchstonePictures and Creator/HollywoodPictures. In January 2021, it was revealed that most areas will receive STAR as a hub within Disney+ within the year, except for Latin America, where Star+ will be a separate service, and India and other territories with the combined Disney+ Hotstar platform. In 2023, Hulu began integrating into [=Disney+=]. However, Disney stated that the separate Hulu app experience will be available and a wider one-app rollout is scheduled for later in 2024.

In May, as Amazon has done for ''Series/RipperStreet'' and Netflix did for ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'', Hulu rescued ''Series/TheMindyProject'' after it was cancelled, [[http://blog.hulu.com/2015/05/15/the-mindy-project-hulu/ ordering 26 new episodes]], and getting exclusive streaming rights for the previous 3 seasons. Hulu had been rumored to be a front-runner to rescue ''Series/{{Community}}'' when it was cancelled by NBC, until it was picked up by Website/{{Yahoo}} Screen.

* NetworkDecay: Hulu started out in October 2007 as a partnership between Creator/{{Disney}} (Creator/{{ABC}}), Creator/NBCUniversal (Creator/{{NBC}}) and News Corp. (Creator/{{Fox}}), later adding other partners (most notably Time Warner[=/=]Creator/WarnerMedia), in order to provide free, ad-supported streaming of recent episodes of those networks' series. In June 2010 they added Hulu Plus (a name they'd abandon in April 2015), an ad-supported subscription service which allowed access to full seasons, day-after access to current season content and more episodes of shows available. One month later they announced they were thinking of international expansion (which would happen in Japan under their name in September 2011, and in February 2021 in other regions under the Creator/{{Star|DisneyPlus}} name). In September 2015 they added "No Commercials" and "Limited Commercials" options. In August 2016 they spun off the original free service to Website/{{Yahoo}} View (which was discontinued in June 2019). In December 2017, Disney announced they bought News Corp. spinoff 21st Century Fox and, with it, its stake on Hulu. In April 2019 it was the turn of [=WarnerMedia=] and one month later [=NBCUniversal=] relinquished control and is planning to sell its share in 2024. (The latter has launched its own competitor, Creator/{{Peacock}}, which has its own free membership plan where one enjoy a partial selection of the library with limited ads.) Nowadays Hulu is one component of Disney's direct-to-consumer strategy, alongside Creator/DisneyPlus and [[Creator/{{ESPN}} ESPN+]].

[[http://www.hulu.com/ Hulu]], [[SuperBowlSpecial an evil plot to destroy the world]], started as a [[AllegedlyFreeGame free]], ad-supported streaming video site that plays full episodes, clips, and whole movies on October 29, 2007. For many years it was a joint corporate venture involving companies such as Turner Broadcasting System, Creator/{{Fox}}, Creator/{{ABC}} and Creator/{{NBC}}, with Fox and NBC being the founding members of the venture[[note]]As per the agreement with the government that allowed Comcast to purchase 51% (and eventually the rest) of [=NBCUniversal=], Comcast did not have any say in Hulu's operations.[[/note]] and carries content from all four, plus their sundry cable networks and motion picture studios, as well as various other providers. It also carries some older content from CBS, such as ''Series/{{Numb3rs}}'' and ''Medium'' (originally an NBC show, but made by CBS and later moved that network). Essentially, it's broadcast television's answer to {{Creator/Netflix}}.

The service has incorporated more overseas (mostly British) content in the past few years, in an apparent effort to attract Anglophiles. Other overseas content has included non-Anglophone shows that were later remade in America, which can be easily promoted to curious fans of the American versions, such as ''Series/{{Forbrydelsen}}'' (''Series/TheKilling''), ''[[Series/PrisonersOfWar Hatufim]]'' (''Series/{{Homeland}}''), and ''Series/TheBridge2011'' (''Series/TheBridgeUS''). It has also co-invested in some British TV shows, including the [[Series/TheLateLateShow Richard Corden]] series ''Series/TheWrongMans'' and the most recent season of ''Series/TheThickOfIt'' starring Creator/PeterCapaldi, which, in-turn, become streaming exclusives to Hulu once they've been broadcast in the UK. (Hulu sometimes hypes them as 'Hulu Originals', which while they helped foot the bill, is stretching the truth a bit.) They show many limited-run or shorter-run series that are more adult and therefore less likely to appear on BBC America (like ''Series/{{Misfits}}'' or ''Series/{{Pramface}}''), and also British soaps and reality shows, like ''Series/CoronationStreet'' and ''Series/TheOnlyWayIsEssex''.

''Hulu Japan is owned by Creator/NipponTV and features little to none of the American Hulu's original programming, much of which is carried in Japan by [[Creator/StarDisneyPlus Star]] on Creator/DisneyPlus.''

* NoExportForYou: Possibly the most ''infamous'' example of this trope. Hulu is only available in United States and Japan. Furthermore, Hulu Originals are not available in any other country outside the US on simulcast. However, due to the way companies distributes titles, [[LateExportForYou some originals can reach their way months or years after a season was broadcasted in full.]] Starting to change with the advent of [[Creator/StarDisneyPlus Star]], at least for Disney-owned productions -- however, Star largely follows Disney+'s weekly release strategy, [[BadExportForYou meaning shows that get released all at once on Hulu can take months on Star]].
