Getting Started

Hulu is an online video service that offers a selection of hit shows, clips, movies and more at Hulu.com, numerous destination sites online, and through our ad-supported subscription service, Hulu Plus. Hulu's selection of premium programming is provided by more than 260 content companies , with some of the best shows available on Fox, ABC, NBC, the Food Network, HGTV, A&E, PBS, National Geographic and more. We offer full-length episodes and movies as well as shorter clips that we think of as highlights from a show or movie.

You don't need an account to watch videos on Hulu, but we do require one in order for you to watch videos that are intended for mature audiences. An account also allows you to set up a queue - a playlist of shows you want to come back and watch later - and Favorites, which let you keep track of your favorite shows and automatically have new episodes placed in your queue as soon as they're added to Hulu. By connecting your Facebook account with Hulu, you can also comment on moments in shows, and share your Favorites with your friends.
