What's available

Hulu does not officially operate in Germany. If you try to visit Hulu.com from a German IP address, you will be blocked immediately. This means no native app, no local subscription, and no direct access to any content without extra steps.

What you're missing

By being outside the US, you're missing Hulu's full library, which is one of the strongest in streaming. Specific titles you cannot access from Germany include:

  • The Bear — the critically acclaimed chef drama
  • Only Murders in the Building — Steve Martin's hit mystery comedy
  • The Handmaid's Tale — Hulu's flagship original series
  • Abbott Elementary — the award-winning school mockumentary
  • Justified: City Primeval — the popular Timothy Olyphant revival
  • FX on Hulu titles like Shogun, The Americans, and Fargo
  • Next-day TV episodes from NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox
  • A massive back-catalogue of films including Parasite and Knives Out

How to access other regions

To watch Hulu in Germany, you need a VPN that can reliably unblock US streaming services. A VPN masks your real IP address and replaces it with one from another country.

Steps to get started

  • Subscribe to a VPN service — we recommend NordVPN as the most consistent option for unblocking Hulu
  • Connect to a United States server — cities like New York or Los Angeles work well
  • Create a Hulu account using a US payment method or a US gift card purchased online
  • Stream directly through the browser or the Hulu app

NordVPN has thousands of US servers and a SmartDNS feature that adds extra reliability for streaming. It works on all major devices including phones, smart TVs, and laptops.

Pricing

Hulu does not offer Euro-based pricing. You will be billed in US dollars. The ad-supported plan costs $7.99/month, while the ad-free plan is $17.99/month. The Hulu + Live TV bundle starts at $82.99/month. Add your NordVPN cost on top, which starts from around $3.99/month on a longer plan.

Our recommendation

If you're in Germany and want access to Hulu's deep library of originals, FX content, and next-day TV, the combination of NordVPN and a US Hulu subscription is your best path. Connect to a US server, sign up with a gift card, and you'll have reliable access to everything from The Bear to Abbott Elementary within minutes.
