What features are available on Hulu?

Up to 6 Profiles

Hulu lets you create up to six profiles for a single account.

Parental Controls

Hulu have the ability to create a special kids profile, which will only show “kid-friendly” programming.

Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, Paramount Plus, Peacock, SHOWTIME, and STARZ also have parental control features.

Up to 2 Devices

Hulu can be logged into as many devices as you like, but only two can be streaming at the same time.

Ads

Hulu displays ads while watching content.

Offline Downloads

Hulu recently added offline access for subscribers of their Hulu with No Ads plan. The feature is available on both iOS and Android devices.

International Access

While Hulu is not available outside of the U.S., you can still watch any shows or movies you downloaded offline while traveling out to the country.

Originals

Hulu offers original shows that are available exclusively to Hulu subscribers.

These include top shows like The Handmaid's Tale, The Act, and Castle Rock, and comedies like Shrill and PEN15. If you want to catch these great shows, it’s the only way to do it.

Now that the service is owned by Disney, it is expected to aggressively increase their amount of original programming. They have ordered a new Marvel series called Helstrom to go with Marvel’s Runaways.

TV Shows

Hulu provides access to full seasons of current TV shows from ABC, NBC, Fox, and major cable channels. This means that the day after the show airs, you’ll get access to it on demand on Hulu.

This includes shows like This Is Us, Grey's Anatomy, Empire, Family Guy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Saturday Night Live, Bob's Burgers, Law & Order: SVU and more.

Unlike other services, you get access to new episodes during the current season, and for some some shows like Family Guy — every episode ever made. The service also has every episode of Seinfeld, but that show will be heading for Netflix in 2021.

Movies

Hulu includes a large library of over 2,500 movies through deals with Lionsgate and Dreamworks. While they generally aren’t new releases, they include many classics like The Princess Bride, Slumdog Millionaire, Parasite, and more.

Kids

Disney is focusing Disney+ for their kids content, so Hulu comes up a little short in that department. You will find shows like Animaniacs, Hey Arnold!, The Powerpuff Girls and movies like Rio, Trolls World Tour, and How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming. If you have children, you may be best served by the Hulu bundle that includes Disney+.
