Hulu was having an outage, with as many as 50,000 reports noted on Down Detector late on Monday night. There’s no indication of what has caused the outage, but the official Hulu Support account on X acknowledged the issue, following up with posts from customers after about 11:15PM ET, saying, “Our developers were able to put changes in place to mitigate the interruption. Please reboot your device to start streaming, and let us know if you run into any further trouble.”
Not everyone was having trouble accessing Hulu, but for the people who were, posts on social media said they either couldn’t log in or that they didn’t see any content listed on Hulu’s website or apps for streaming. It didn’t seem to exclusively affect people who have or have not linked their Hulu and Disney Plus accounts, and it’s unclear if the problem was linked to certain regions.
Hulu’s support messages didn’t offer any other details about why the service went down for so many people, but if you were hoping to wrap up The Bear season three or something else exclusive to the service, then you should be back online now.
Update, July 8th: Noted that the issue appears to be resolved.
