Leaked Roadmap Shows Disney Plans to Fold Hulu Into Disney+ Under 'Project Gemini'

Overview

• Leaked audio and documents published Friday, June 19, 2026, describe a multi‑phased internal initiative called Project Gemini that would migrate users and data from the standalone Hulu app into Disney+.
• Disney has already deployed product changes that ease migration, including unified MyDisney logins, profile linking, synced watch history and watchlists, and a Disney+ desktop live‑TV guide.
• The internal roadmap reported by Business Insider reportedly sets a goal to decommission the Hulu app by the end of 2026, though those timeline details come from leaked materials rather than an official company announcement.
• Disney publicly says there are no plans to sunset the standalone Hulu app, while some current and former employees quoted in the leaks describe Hulu as deprioritized and receiving few engineering resources.
• Analysts and the leaked documents frame the move as a technical and cost decision to consolidate multiple legacy streaming stacks (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN), which could save engineering costs but require careful handling of Live TV subscribers and regional platform constraints.
