Disney+ and Hulu Expand Video Podcast Slate | The Walt Disney Company

Disney+ and Hulu Expand Video Podcast Slate Entertainment September 22, 2026 5 min. read Every good podcast starts with a hook. Ours was a question: What if your favorite show didn’t have to end when the episode did? A little over a year ago, Disney+ and Hulu introduced video podcasts — starting with Only Murders in the Building , Dancing with the Stars , Percy Jackson and the Olympians , and Murdaugh: Death in the Family . Each offered a peek behind the curtain, exclusive cast interviews, episode breakdowns, and a reason to keep the conversation going long after the credits rolled. Fans didn’t just tune in — they subscribed, in every sense. Like the 90% of viewers who streamed the Tell Me Lies companion podcast also watched every episode of Season 3 – proof the podcast wasn’t just an additional piece of content, but an important part of watching the show. Behind that engagement is a deliberate approach: hand-picking podcasts that resonate with fans and reflect the genres they care about most. The slate has since widened beyond companion shows to include licensed rewatch, comedy, true crime, news, and sports shows — and in the next couple of months our podcast library will double. Beginning today, two new Headgum podcasts will premiere exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu and stream weekly before they are available on other platforms. Best Friends brings Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata together for a weekly hangout built on a real friendship, while Perfect Person has Miles Bonsignore working through listener dilemmas with more empathy than authority. Recently, ABC News debuted its first original video podcast exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu: The Scream Murder: A True Teen Horror Story Podcast . Hosted by Pat Rogers and Conor McCarthy and based on the Hulu documentary , the six-part series features new, never-before-seen material as it takes viewers deeper into the killing of Idaho teenager Cassie Stoddart. These will soon be joined by FX’s American Horror Story Official Podcast this Thursday and iHeartPodcast Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald on October 1, when both podcasts stream on Hulu for the first time.

Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu Official Podcast also arrived earlier this month in a big way as the #1 podcast launch to date across Disney+ and Hulu, based on global views in its first week.
