The last two years have seen a huge growth in the number of streaming services available, as many of the major studios launched their own platforms to compete with Netflix and Amazon. But alongside Disney+, HBO Max, Peacock, and Paramount Plus, there is a major streaming service that has been around longer than most--Hulu.

Hulu launched to the public way back in March 2008. It was a joint venture between several studios, including News Corporation and NBC Universal, to aggregate episodes of popular TV shows in one place. Disney became a stakeholder in 2009, adding to the platform's growing content library.

Disney's control over Hulu grew in 2019, when it bought Fox's entertainment assets, giving it a 60% stake in the company. This was quickly followed by both AT&T and Comcast selling their shares to Disney, giving the studio complete control over the platform.
