Quick Answer
In June 2026, Disney Plus and Hulu are dropping the final season of FX's The Bear, the Korean reality competition Battle of Fates, and a 12 episode second season of the British period drama Rivals starring David Tennant and Hayley Atwell.
The combined Disney Plus and Hulu bundle starts at 12.99 dollars per month with ads or 19.99 dollars per month with no ads. A larger Trio bundle that adds ESPN Plus is also priced at 19.99 for the ad supported tier.
Hulu content is fully accessible from inside the Disney Plus app for bundle subscribers, removing the need to switch between two separate applications.
The 2026 Disney Plus and Hulu Bundle Landscape
Disney is no longer pretending the two services are independent. In 2026, the bundle is the default product, and the standalone tiers exist mostly as a fallback for users who do not want both libraries.
| Plan | Monthly Price | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Disney Plus and Hulu (with ads) | 12.99 dollars | Both libraries, ad supported tier. |
| Disney Plus and Hulu Premium (no ads) | 19.99 dollars | Both libraries, ad free where supported. |
| Trio Bundle (with ads) | 19.99 dollars | Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus. |
| Ultimate Bundle (premium) | 32.99 dollars | Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max ad free. |
Disney has also been running rotating promotional deals throughout 2026. A recent six month promotion priced the ad supported bundle at 11.99 dollars per month, which is the kind of pricing the company has been using to pull subscribers away from competing services.
FX's The Bear, Season 5
If there is one June 2026 premiere that defines the month, it is the fifth and final season of The Bear, dropping in full on Hulu in late June.
Season 4 ended with Carmy walking away from the kitchen, leaving Sydney, Richie, and Sugar to chase a Michelin star without him. The final season is built around whether the restaurant can survive that absence, and based on early press coverage, the writers' room has stuck to the show's signature blend of stress, family dysfunction, and quiet kitchen craftsmanship.
Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss Bachrach all return. Expect the show to dominate the late June awards conversation immediately.
Battle of Fates and the International Reality Push
Hulu has been quietly building a strong international unscripted library, and Battle of Fates is the centerpiece of the June slate. The Korean original pits 49 fortune tellers, shamans, and tarot readers against each other in a spiritual elimination tournament, with cash prizes and significant cultural credibility on the line.
It is a strange, gripping format that has already been a hit in South Korea. The decision to bring it to Hulu signals where Disney sees growth coming from on the unscripted side, which is international formats with built in audiences rather than expensive American originals.
Rivals, Season 2
The 1980s set British period drama Rivals on Disney Plus has been expanded to a 12 episode second season due to strong first season streaming numbers. David Tennant returns as the venomous Lord Baddingham, and Hayley Atwell joins the cast as a new arrival who upends the social order of fictional Rutshire.
It is glossy, soapy, and deliberately tabloid. If you liked the first season, the second is more of the same, just bigger.
New Disney Plus Animation and Family Content
The Disney Plus family side of the slate is also active.
- Avatar Fire and Ash: The theatrical sequel hits Disney Plus in June.
- Disney Jr. Ariel The Little Mermaid Season 2: New episodes for the preschool audience.
- Play Break: A short form interactive series aimed at the younger end of the kids tier.
This is the part of the library that justifies the Disney Plus side of the bundle for households with young children, and the June drops cover both the theatrical fan audience and the preschool habit.
"The bundle pricing is the most aggressive in the market. Once you have both libraries inside one app, churn drops measurably." Streaming industry analyst, May 2026.
The App Integration Is Finally Working
The biggest practical change for subscribers in 2026 is that the integration between Disney Plus and Hulu actually works. A dedicated Hulu tile sits inside the Disney Plus app, search returns results across both libraries, and watch history syncs across them. The standalone Hulu app still exists, primarily for the live TV product, but for on demand viewing the Disney Plus app is now the front door for both services.
That matters for retention. Every extra app a household has to remember is a chance for them to cancel one. Consolidating into a single interface is the most effective retention tool Disney has deployed in years.
What This Means for the Streaming Market
The Disney Plus and Hulu bundle, especially when expanded into the Trio or Ultimate tiers, is now the most aggressive value proposition in streaming. The combined Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max bundle at 32.99 dollars per month is cheaper than the standalone premium tiers of those three services purchased separately, and the library breadth is unmatched.
That is squeezing the standalone subscriptions on the edges. Expect more bundle activity from the rest of the industry in the back half of 2026 in response.
