History Creator / Hulu

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/BronBroen'' (''[[Series/TheBridgeUS The Bridge]]''). 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''.

* NoExportForYou: 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]].

In 2014, in a significant deal with creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Hulu now manage streaming of all ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episodes. Where they used to be available for free via South Park Studios' own website, unedited, the episodes are now on a [[http://southpark.cc.com new site]] on Comedy Central's domain which is managed by Hulu. Older episodes are now bleeped for language and now have commercials inserted like other Hulu programming. When Season 18 of ''South Park'' premiered in September 2014, the entire show ceased being available at the old site and from that point now only 30 episodes are available for free on a rotating basis on Hulu (Hulu subscription subscribers, naturally, have access to the entire series). Needless to say, fans were not [[https://twitter.com/hashtag/SouthParkonHulu happy.]] (The show left Hulu for Creator/HBOMax in June 2020.)

Then, in 2015, Hulu made a similar arrangement with Sony, spending [[http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/hulu-seinfeld-licensing-160-million-1201483537/ $160 million]] dollars to become the exclusive[[note]]in the U.S.; international rights were held by Creator/PrimeVideo[[/note]] streaming home of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''. Starting in late June, the entire series became available to stream, for Hulu subscription members only. Previously, only selected episodes were available via Sony's free Creator/{{Crackle}} service. Hulu even streamed the episodes in their [[https://twitter.com/jerryseinfeld/status/613808073719869440 original NBC broadcast]] edits, instead of using the shorter edits seen on syndication and Crackle. Netflix (who'd spent $115 million in a similar arrangement for ''Series/{{Friends}}'') was approached by Sony first, but [[http://www.wsj.com/articles/streaming-seinfeld-for-500-000-a-show-1426290568 passed]] when Sony's asking price per-episode was deemed too high.[[note]]The show left Hulu for Netflix in fall 2021, with Netflix ironically paying vastly more than Hulu's deal at a rumored >$500 million - though Netflix's deal includes global streaming rights rather than domestic-only.[[/note]]

On December 14, 2017, Disney announced that it would acquire Fox's stake in Hulu as part of its acquisition of 21st Century Fox's entertainment properties, giving Disney majority control of Hulu. The deal was finalized in March 2019, and in April of that year AT&T divested its 10% stake in the service. A few weeks later in May, Comcast and Disney announced that Comcast had relinquished its say in the operation of Hulu in exchange for a potentially above market-value buyout in 2024, giving Disney full ownership of the service; NBCU will no longer provide content to Hulu beginning September 2022. While Disney-owned content is largely being directed to the Creator/DisneyPlus streaming service and first-run 20th-branded film content is licensed to Creator/{{HBO}} for the time being (though said channel, along with Creator/HBOMax, is available as an add-on under Hulu), Hulu's new ownership is becoming increasingly apparent through a new crossover brand initiative with Creator/FXNetworks, titled "FX on Hulu," which will see a large amount of new FX and FXX content premiere on Hulu just a day after airing on cable, and even some new FX-produced original series becoming Hulu exclusives (beginning with Creator/AlexGarland's ''Series/{{Devs}}'').[[labelnote:*]]They also conducted a similar arrangement with [[Creator/NationalGeographicChannel National Geographic's]] ''Series/{{Barkskins}}'' and ''Series/{{Genius}}'', presumably due to those series being deemed inappropriate for Disney+.[[/labelnote]] It has also been announced that Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios and Creator/SearchlightPictures will create films explicitly for the streamer, beginning with Searchlight's ''Film/SummerOfSoul'' in July 2021. Hulu has allowed some of its higher-profile third-party deals, such as ''Seinfeld'' and ''South Park'', to be snatched by [[Creator/{{Netflix}} other]] [[Creator/HBOMax services]], though they have made no indication that they are abandoning third-party material entirely (They snatched the rights to ''Series/SchittsCreek'' in October 2022, a swipe from Netflix).
