Need help signing up for a Hulu subscription? We’ve got you!

Learn what you can watch with a Hulu account of your very own, and how to sign up here.

It's incredibly easy to sign up for a Hulu subscription if you know how!

The phrase “general entertainment” can seem like a nondescript catch-all, but don’t let the breadth of content that it covers intimidate you. As the Hulu content library demonstrates, all “general entertainment” really means is that a viewer can find something awesome to watch, no matter which genre of TV or movies they like most!

Hulu is one of the premier general entertainment streaming services on the market, and signing up for an account of your own is very simple! Check out how to do so, and more details about the various Hulu plans are available below.

Everything you need to know about signing up for Hulu

Does Hulu have a free trial?

Yes! If you sign up for Hulu without opting into the Disney Bundle, you can try the service free for 30 days. What could be better than watching a new streaming service free for a full month?

How to sign up for Hulu

  • Click here to sign up for Hulu.
  • Click “Sign Up for Hulu Only.”
  • Pick which Hulu plan you want.
  • Create a MyDisney account with a username and password.
  • Enter payment information and finish signing up.

What plans are available on Hulu?

If you decide to sign up for Hulu alone, you’ve got three distinct plan options. The standard Hulu plan costs $10 per month and unlocks access to the streamer’s entire library with ads during playback. Features include:

  • Two simultaneous streams within the household.
  • Up to six user profiles to keep watch histories separate.
  • Full 1080p HD screening, with some titles available in 4K.

Hulu’s No Ads plan ($19 per month) comes with all the features that the ad-supported tier does, plus more, including:

  • The ability to download shows and movies for offline viewing.
  • Host a Hulu Watch Party and have up to 8 people join from different locations.

Finally, the Hulu + Live TV plan (starting at $82 per month) bundles the on-demand streamer with a package of 90+ cable channels. In addition, Hulu + Live TV comes with:

  • Cloud DVR storage allowing you to record live TV shows.
  • Access to the Disney Bundle (with plans starting at $83 per month).
  • Almost 100 popular cable and broadcast TV channels.

Can you share Hulu with users outside your home?

As per the Disney terms of service, it is not permitted to share your login information for Hulu with anyone who doesn’t live in your household. You can add extra members to a Disney Bundle subscription starting at $8 per month, but as of now, there’s no way to add an extra viewer with just a Hulu account.

What can you watch with Hulu?

There’s a huge amount of content available on Hulu, starting with next-day streams of primetime shows from ABC and Fox, such as “Abbott Elementary,” “Family Guy,” and more. Original titles like FX on Hulu’s “The Bear,” “Fargo,” “Shōgun,” and much more can also be found in the streamer’s library.
