Beginning October 9, 2025, streaming audiences worldwide will witness a major evolution in entertainment. Hulu is officially becoming the global General Entertainment brand on Disney+, taking the place of Star.
In Malaysia, this shift also marks the rebranding of Disney+ Hotstar to simply Disney+, uniting global audiences under a single, powerful streaming identity.
This strategic move brings the Hulu brand’s award-winning storytelling and distinctive green identity to millions of new viewers outside the U.S., including Malaysia.
For local fans, this means an even richer variety of U.S., Korean, and Japanese Originals, alongside the family favorites and blockbuster franchises Disney+ is already known for.
A Fresh Global Identity with Familiar Favorites
With Hulu’s inclusion, Disney+ Malaysia subscribers can expect a dynamic streaming experience that blends general entertainment with beloved family programming.
Hulu’s reputation for bold, breakout Originals will now reach the global stage, offering diverse genres from intense dramas to heartwarming comedies.
Among the highly anticipated new Hulu Originals coming to Disney+ are:
- All’s Fair – A stylish legal drama created by Ryan Murphy, featuring an all-star cast including Glenn Close, Kim Kardashian, and Niecy Nash.
- Would You Marry Me – A lighthearted Korean romantic comedy starring Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min.
- The Manipulated – A gripping Korean thriller filled with high-octane action, starring Ji Changwook and Doh Kyungsoo.
- WANDANCE – A visually captivating Japanese coming-of-age anime exploring self-expression through dance.
These titles join a growing catalogue of critically acclaimed global series, such as Grey’s Anatomy, Modern Family, Shōgun, and High Potential. Fans of Asian content can also continue to enjoy hit series like Tempest, Nine Puzzles, The Judge from Hell, A Shop for Killers, Moving, and Gannibal.
A New Era of Streaming for Malaysian Fans
For Malaysian audiences, this rebranding from Disney+ Hotstar to Disney+ signifies much more than a name change. It’s a step towards a more unified global streaming experience, ensuring that subscribers in Malaysia have access to the same diverse range of shows, movies, and Originals available worldwide.
“Disney+ is known to have the most beloved library of content in Malaysia,” said Vineet Puri, Vice President and General Manager of The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia. “With Hulu as our new general entertainment brand on Disney+, we will continue to deliver unparalleled storytelling to families, friends, and fans.”
This statement reinforces Disney’s commitment to local audiences, promising that the content experience will remain familiar but richer and more inclusive.
From American blockbusters and Marvel heroes to K-dramas and J-anime, Hulu’s integration aims to give Malaysian viewers the best of global entertainment under one platform.
