On Tuesday night, Hulu suffered a huge setback as thousands of users reported that they were unable to log into their accounts. The complaints also reported that ESPN+, another Disney-owned streaming platform, was also not working for many users. Queries like "Why can't I log into Hulu?" and "Is Hulu down right now?" filled social media platforms and search engines.
This led to a huge outrage on social media platforms like X, where users flocked in and complained about Hulu not working. Many users reported on social media that the company and its support were not answering the concerned users.
User @Midwest_Midwit summed up the feeling going through a lot of the users, saying:
"Can't access Hulu to watch Gilmore Girls with the wifey! The only time I get a little peace and comfort in this stressful, miserable world! I'm about to lose it!"
It is indeed true that a lot of viewers exclusively rely on streaming platforms nowadays for their share of entertainment and escapism and such troubles have a huge impact on their daily lives as was evident from the social media posts all over X, which had hoards of viewers asking, "Is Hulu down?"
"Hey I pay an awful lot of money every month to have you not work."- another user said.
"@hulu_support your whole platform is down AGAIN and you all don’t even have the decency to put out a message to let folks know that you’re working on it…"- another user said.
"So happy I can run to Twitter whenever I’m having a problem. Literally thought my Hvlu was hacked. But it’s, actually, experiencing issues right now. 😭-" another user added.
"I’m so over Hulu. This is the 5th time I have gotten logged out (mysteriously) and when I try to log back in I either get error messages or “don’t recognize your email” (which hasn’t changed); and MYSTERIOUSLY when you try to call - busy signal; chat - down. 🙄"- another user said.
Finally, the streaming service responded to some of the tweets. One such reply read:
"Hey there — sorry for the late reply! We're happy to report that the behavior affecting the ability to log in to Hulu has now been fully resolved. To get back to smooth streaming, simply reboot your device. Thanks for your patience!"
As of now, the issues are reportedly resolved.
Is Hulu down right now?
As per recent reports, whatever issues the platform was having have been resolved completely and users are now able to access it. The particular reason for the streaming service not working has not been revealed by the company and it was likely just a technical glitch in the system that lot to Hulu not working.
The company took time to reply to most users asking them questions on social media platforms and as of now, things seem to be working fine.
Right now, you can stream your favorite programs on the platform, with an expansive set of shows and movies coming soon to the platform.
