Frequently Asked Questions
Q2What happens to my Hulu add-ons (HBO, Showtime, etc.)?
All add-on subscriptions are cancelled along with your base Hulu plan. You'll need to re-add them separately if you resubscribe to Hulu.
Q3Can I switch to a cheaper Hulu plan instead of cancelling?
Yes. Instead of cancelling, you can downgrade from the No Ads plan ($17.99/mo) to the Basic plan with ads ($7.99/mo). Go to account.hulu.com > Your Subscription > Change Plan.
Q4I have the Disney Bundle — how do I cancel just Hulu?
If you purchased the Disney Bundle (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+), you generally cannot cancel just one service. You'd need to cancel the entire bundle and then subscribe to Disney+ and ESPN+ separately if you want to keep them.
