What's available

Hulu in the US offers one of the most comprehensive streaming libraries available. You get access to a massive on-demand catalog plus live TV options that most other platforms simply don't match.

  • Hulu Originals like The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, Handmaid's Tale, and Shogun
  • Next-day TV episodes from ABC, NBC, and Fox, including Abbott Elementary and Saturday Night Live
  • FX content including Reservation Dogs, What We Do in the Shadows, and American Horror Story
  • Films from major studios including No Hard Feelings, Prey, and Disney titles through the bundle
  • Live sports and news via Hulu + Live TV, covering ESPN, CNN, and local channels

What you're missing

Since Hulu is exclusive to the US, viewers outside the country are locked out of the entire platform. There is no international version of Hulu, which means you miss everything listed above, including:

  • The Bear — one of the most acclaimed shows of recent years
  • Shogun — the Emmy-winning historical drama unavailable on Hulu elsewhere
  • Next-day episodes of network TV that aren't easily found on other platforms legally
  • The full FX on Hulu catalog, which rivals premium cable in quality

How to access other regions

To access Hulu outside the US, you need a reliable VPN. Connect to a US server, then visit Hulu and create or log into your account. The service will detect a US IP address and grant you full access.

We recommend NordVPN as the top choice for streaming Hulu. It offers fast US servers, consistent unblocking performance, and works reliably with Hulu's detection systems. Connect to a server in cities like New York or Los Angeles for the best results.

Pricing

  • Hulu (With Ads): $7.99/month
  • Hulu (No Ads): $17.99/month
  • Hulu + Live TV (With Ads): $82.99/month
  • Disney Bundle (Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+): from $14.99/month

Payments require a US-issued credit card or a third-party gift card purchased online.

Our recommendation

If you're outside the US and want access to Hulu's deep library — especially shows like The Bear, Shogun, and next-day network TV — a VPN is your only real option. Grab a NordVPN subscription, connect to a US server, and you're in. The ad-supported plan at $7.99 gives you excellent value, and combined with a NordVPN subscription, you still come out cheaper than most premium streaming bundles in other markets.
