Hulu’s 2025 Shake-Up: Price Cuts, Blockbuster Originals, and Why Subscribers Should Act Fast

Hulu is starting November 2025 with a packed release calendar, higher subscription rates, and the long-awaited “Hulu on Disney+” rollout—all of which could reshape how, where, and how much you stream this holiday season. What’s new on Hulu in November 2025 Hulu just published its official November slate, and the platform is front-loading the month with buzzy originals and seasonal favorites. Highlights include: • All’s Fair (Series premiere, Nov. 4) – a darkly comic courtroom drama from acclaimed showrunner Tanya Saracho. • Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point (Film, Nov. 4) – a small-town holiday romance that’s testing “Hallmark meets Hulu” vibes. • The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives – Season 3 binge drop, Nov. 11. • Hularious: Sebastian Maniscalco (Comedy special, Nov. 18). • Freakier Friday (Disney Channel sequel, Nov. 25) – day-and-date with Disney+ as part of the new cross-platform pact. Early analytics from Reelgood show “All’s Fair” already cracking the top-five most-tracked new series, suggesting Hulu could score another breakout hit before year’s end. Price increases now in effect If your next bill looks steeper, you’re not imagining it. Disney raised U.S. prices in late October: • Hulu (with ads) jumped from $9.99 to $11.99/month. • The Disney+ & Hulu bundle with ads climbed to $12.99/month. Annual ad-free Hulu remains $119.99—for now—but Disney CEO Bob Iger warned of “further rationalization” in 2026. Savvy streamers should monitor Black Friday deals; historically, Hulu offers a cut-rate $0.99/month promo that offsets the hike. “Hulu on Disney+” exits beta After a year of testing, Hulu content now lives natively inside the Disney+ interface for bundle subscribers, combining watchlists and parental controls in one app. The standalone Hulu app isn’t disappearing yet, but Disney confirms a unified platform is “the end goal” by mid-2026. Why this matters: • One-stop streaming could reduce churn by simplifying discovery. • Cross-service recommendations mean Hulu originals may surface beside Marvel or Pixar titles, widening audiences without extra marketing spend. • Integration sets the stage for Hulu’s live-TV tier to piggyback on Disney’s sports portfolio when ESPN’s direct-to-consumer product launches next year. Three feel-good films to stream right now Need instant comfort viewing? Critics recommend these November arrivals, all scoring 90 % or higher on Rotten Tomatoes: 1. Chef (2014) – Jon Favreau’s foodie road-trip dramedy. 2. Paddington 2 (2017) – the internet’s happiest bear returns. 3. The Farewell (2019) – Awkwafina shines in Lulu Wang’s bittersweet family tale. Bottom line Hulu’s November 2025 playbook mixes price hikes with premium originals and deeper Disney synergy. For subscribers, the smartest move is to lock in a discounted annual plan—or pounce on Black Friday deals—while sampling new series like “All’s Fair” from a single, streamlined app experience.
