Of Hulu’s new tally, 42 million came from straight-up Hulu SVOD, while 4 million users elected to add the Live TV service.Īlthough its operating income declined in Q3, Hulu is the only of the three Disney Bundle streamers that actually makes money. But this ain’t that up, and there is more bad news on the way when NBC pulls its programming from Hulu in favor of Peacock.

As we’ve learned from studying Netflix and Peacock, up is up. Hulu grew from 45.6 million subscribers to 46.2 million subs during Disney’s fiscal third quarter. Help may be on the horizon: NBC shows will begin to stream next-day on Peacock, no longer Hulu, this fall.

Roberts during the company’s Q2 earnings conference call. “Going from zero to 13 million paid subs in a couple of years at Peacock is a great achievement,” said Comcast chairman Brian L. While that number carried over into Q2, the lack of any second-quarter additions is alarming for a service as young and as relatively small as Peacock. To be fair to Peacock, Q1 was a disproportionately large one for NBCUniversal the streaming service had the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics in the same quarter, leading to a surge of 4 million paid subs. (And it did lose 1 million monthly active accounts from its unpaid tier.) Hey, Peacock didn’t lose (paid) subscribers in Q2 - but it didn’t add any either. The company expects to add 1 million global paid subscribers in the ongoing third quarter. The cheaper, ad-supported tier is aiming for “early 2023,” Netflix said when reporting second-quarter numbers. Netflix’s password-sharing crackdown and advertising-supported video-on-demand tier are still in their infancies both are expected to roll out in 2023. The insane popularity of “Stranger Things 4” surely helped stave off some of those expected losses. Most significantly, it didn’t lose the 2 million subs forecast at the time of its Q1 results. Still the undisputed king of streaming, Netflix ended the second quarter with 220.67 million global paid subscribers. Here, find the version we did of this same story on March 16 - back when subscriber-based streaming was still considered the (tidal) wave of the industry’s future.
