Disney+ has served as the home of the MCU's latest series since it launched in 2020 with WandaVision. However, they will be sharing the newest series, Secret Invasion, with Hulu in a surprising move.
Hulu announced on July 20 that in honor of Secret Invasion's finale airing on July 26, the first three episodes — “Resurrection,” Promises,” and “Betrayed” — of the latest MCU series will be available on the platform from July 21 through August 17.
This isn't the first instance of Disney+ and Hulu teaming up, however (they are sister companies, after all). Flamin' Hot, the film about the creation of the titular Cheetos snack, premiered on both streaming services simultaneously.
In terms of the MCU, this is unprecedented. Secret Invasion received rave reviews out of the social embargo lifting and has continued to stay relevant since its premiere on June 21. Perhaps this move is an effort by Disney+ and Hulu to try and get even more eyes and boost the viewership numbers of the series ahead of its finale.
