Some of Hulu’s most popular programs are leaving Hulu and will be streaming in Peacock. The contract between Hulu’s partner companies Disney and Comcast has been terminated this year. So NBCUniversal shows new seasons are leaving Hulu. NBCUniversal spokesperson Lisa Scalzo said during a press conference,” The Hulu agreement was terminated”.

Now Viewers will see new episodes of NBCUniversal’s shows like Starday Night Live, The Voice, and Law&Order: Organized Crime in Peacock. The shows are removed because Hulu will no longer pay for some of NBCunivers’s biggest titles. According to experts, this termination will give Hulu new financial freedom to focus on its original content.

The change in the shows will be effective in the next broadcasting season. We hope the timing will be  September to October. As per Variety, not all NBCU’S shows will leave Hulu. These shows are Law & Order, SUV and This is Us, etc. These shows will be available on Hulu for several more years.

As the streaming industry is getting more competitive, people want to see more exciting content on a lower budget, that’s why so many business experts think this deal will be an amazing chance for Peacock. Viewers who love these shows will be ready to pay a subscription for it so Peacock will generate more traffic on its platform. Before this deal, Peacock was generating a huge chunk of its profit by streaming Olympics games and Super Bowl LVI. But Peacock is struggling to make enough money with its original content like Short of, Perhaps and Yellowstone, etc. So this is a good chance for Peacock to gain more subscribers.

A Hulu spokesperson issued a statement, ” With the proliferation of streaming services entering the marketplace, we have long-anticipated changes to our third-party content offering and over the past few years we have increased our investment in original content”.

Some of Hulu’s famous original projects titles are ” Only Murders in the Building “, “Dopesick”, “Reservation Dogs”, ” How I met your Father” and the oscar-nominated documentary ” Summer of Soul”.

Some critics think NBCUniversal show dropping from Hulu is a positive sight for Hulu because it will help Hulu to invest more passionately in originals and it gives Hulu more control over the ad inventory.

Disney has planned to launch a subscription plan, at a cheaper rate for U.S.A customers in late 2022. It includes NBCU’S Peacock streaming platform also. Peacock offers free, ad-supported, and no-ad versions to its users. As per December 2021 report, Peacock has 9 million paid subscribers and 24.5 Million monthly visitors in the U.S.A. While on the other hand, Hulu has 43 million subscribers and its revenue is $ 1.5 billion(2020 report).

We think this deal will improve Peacock’s subscription model more efficiently this year. For more interesting updates like this, visit geeksultd
