Hulu, Disney+ and the word they now share — Greece edition
Hulu from Greece, Without the Guesswork
Short answer: two things carry the Hulu name in Greece and only one of them is American. The local one is a hub inside Disney+, renamed from Star on 8 October 2025, licensed for Greece. Hulu’s own help pages say a subscription “is intended for use by members of a single U.S. household,” that “The videos on Hulu are only available in the U.S.,” and that Hulu “doesn’t work with anonymizers or proxy services.”
Greece is another seasonal market, and the version of this question asked in July by a visitor has a different answer from the one asked in January by a resident.
From Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, Heraklion or Larissa, hulu.com does not load Hulu at all: every hulu.com address hands you to Disney+, and the Hulu app answers with its own location error — P-EDU101, “You appear to be using an anonymous proxy tool.” A residential U.S. IP presents the U.S. location Hulu’s rules are written for — for a U.S. subscriber travelling in Greece, or anyone whose U.S. plan already includes what they want to watch.
That is the whole of what it does. No Hulu subscription is included, no U.S. card is issued, no account is opened, no billing country changes and no Live TV home network is set. Hulu’s rules still apply in full: it says it “cannot support the use of VPNs or proxies,” and it can block-list any address it decides is one.
