UK viewers who have logged into Disney Plus over the last 24 hours may have noticed something a little bit different about the streamer. Yes, the Star tab is no more, replaced with Hulu. This changeover is the result of Disney's ongoing plans to integrate its various sub-brands into Disney Plus.
Star launched in 2021 and provided a home in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, for what Disney called at the time "general entertainment." In practice that meant a lot of content with more mature themes. When Disney bought Fox in 2019, Star became the home for shows like The X-Files and Family Guy, and for horror movie franchises like Alien and Predator.
Functionally, there's not presently a huge difference in terms of the content available through Hulu and Star – though some shows and movies may only be licensed in one territory or another.
