Beginning in 2011, streaming service Hulu began to produce its own original content. The first production released was the web series The Morning After, a light-hearted pop-culture news show. In 2012, Hulu announced that it would begin airing its first original scripted program, titled Battleground.
On October 8, 2025, Hulu replaced Star on Disney+ in all territories outside of United States except Japan, becoming a global brand, with shows labeled 'Star Original' being rebranded as 'Hulu Original' shows. In Japan, the Hulu brand is owned by Nippon Television and is separate from Disney content.
These shows have been commissioned by Hulu in cooperation with a partner network.
These shows have been either picked up by Hulu for additional seasons after having aired previous seasons on another network, or were moved to Hulu from another network and premiered on the service without being marketed as Hulu Originals.
