The Walt Disney Company has released its earnings for itsfirst quarter of 2022, and with it we get a new look at the state of the streaming services that fall under the larger Disney umbrella. Things were good across the board, with gains for Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu.
“This marks the final year of The Walt Disney Company’s first century,” CEO Bob Chapek said in the earnings release, “and performance like this, coupled with our unmatched collection of assets and platforms, creative capabilities, and unique place in the culture, give me great confidence we will continue to define entertainment for the next 100 years.”
Here’s the breakdown for the three months that ended on August 22, 2025:
None of those numbers should be especially surprising. Disney+ will continue to grow as the service continues to expand in new countries worldwide. And we’ll see that trend continue this year, with another 42 new countries and 11 territoriesslated to come online over the summer.
ESPN+, meanwhile, keeps chugging along thanks to its mix of live sports that simply can’t fit on a linear TV schedule, along with new original content that’s exclusive to the streamer.
Hulu (and Hulu With Live TV) has seen the least amount of growth of any of the three services that fall under Disney, but that’s largely due to the fact that it’s a U.S.-only service. On-demand content that is available on Hulu in the U.S. can be found under the Star brand internationally and is rolled in with the Disney+ subscription in many countries.
In the U.S., all three services continue to benefit from the boost of the Disney Bundle. Disney+ on its own costs $8 a month or $80 a year. Hulu starts at at $7 a month for the basic on-demand service, or $70 a month for Hulu With Live TV (which also includes the on-demand library). And ESPN+ runs $7 a month or $70 a year. Bundled together, however, you can get Disney+, ESPN+ and basic Hulu for $14 a month, essentially getting three services for the price of two. And it makes even more sense if you want Hulu With Live TV, which is $70 and month and throws in ESPN+ and Disney+ for free.
