What's available

Hulu is not officially available in Italy. If you try to visit Hulu.com from an Italian IP address, you'll hit a geo-block and see nothing. Hulu operates exclusively in the United States, which means you need a workaround to access any of its content from Italy.

What you're missing

The full Hulu US library is enormous, and Italian viewers are locked out of all of it. That includes some of the most talked-about shows and films streaming right now:

  • The Bear — the critically acclaimed chef drama from FX
  • Only Murders in the Building — the Hulu original mystery-comedy
  • The Handmaid's Tale — all seasons of the dystopian drama
  • Abbott Elementary — the Emmy-winning mockumentary sitcom
  • Shōgun — the FX limited series that dominated awards season
  • Little Fires Everywhere — starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington
  • Next-day TV episodes from NBC, ABC, and Fox
  • Live sports and news through Hulu + Live TV

How to access other regions

To watch Hulu from Italy, you need a VPN. A VPN masks your Italian IP address and replaces it with one from a supported country. Here's how to do it:

  • Subscribe to a reliable VPN service — we recommend NordVPN
  • Download and install the NordVPN app on your device
  • Connect to a United States server — NordVPN has hundreds of US locations
  • Open Hulu and create or log into your account
  • Stream as normal — your connection now appears to originate in the US

NordVPN is our top pick because it offers fast speeds, consistent unblocking performance, and works well across smart TVs, phones, and computers.

Pricing

Hulu prices are set in US dollars. The ad-supported plan starts at $7.99/month, while the ad-free plan costs $17.99/month. Hulu + Live TV starts at $82.99/month. You'll need a US payment method or a gift card to subscribe — Italian credit cards may be declined.

Our recommendation

If you're in Italy and want access to Hulu's deep library of originals, FX content, and next-day network TV, a VPN is your only real option. Connect to a US server with NordVPN, pair it with a Hulu subscription, and you'll have access to everything from The Bear to Shōgun without leaving your couch in Rome or Milan.
