Hotstar to end its services in the United States. It is already known that the streaming service has become a part of Disney+ a couple of years back. Now, platforms like Hulu and ESPN+ will share the content of Hotstar in the US.
Disney, which has over 174 million subscribers combined across four of its streaming services, Disney+, ESPN+, Hulu, and Hotstar, is now looking to consolidate the entire content into a single bundle.
The sports content from Hotstar will now move to ESPN+ and all the movies and TV series will be migrated to Hulu.
This means Hotstar’s exclusive sports events like IPL will now be streamed on ESPN+ in the US and Hotstar originals like Aarya and Special Ops can be watched on Hulu.
Currently, Hotstar annual subscription costs $49.99 (Rs. 3,650 approx.) per year. Disney’s new bundle plan will cost $13.99 (Rs. 1,020 approx) per month, and at least $167.88 (Rs. 12,260 approx.) for a year.
Hotstar users will also get a redemption code to avail of an offer that shifts their subscription to the Disney bundle at no cost.
