Hulu is an on-demand video service allowing users to access Hulu TV<\/a> shows across the USA. It is co-owned by both the Walt Disney Company and Comcast and may be launched worldwide in 2021.<\/p>\n

While Hulu focuses on streaming new TV shows from most of the major TV networks, it also offers Hulu Originals, blockbuster movies and independent films.<\/p>\n

Hulu\u2019s platform differs from sites like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in that it allows users to access series from multiple traditional TV networks. For on-demand shows, it is also a cheaper offering.<\/p>\n

When not using the live TV option, users only need to wait about a day or so to get the latest content on demand. Additionally, there are no hidden fees, equipment rentals, or installation dates.<\/p>\n

You can watch Hulu at home or on the go using many of your favourite streaming devices without a cable subscription.<\/p>\n

The problem until the global rollout it, is still sitting behind some of the strictest geo-restrictions. Here, you can learn all about Hulu; and how to bypass restrictions to watch Hulu in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Can You Get Hulu in NZ?<\/h2>\n

Hulu is not just blocked in New Zealand, but also everywhere outside the USA because of the regional constraints. You will find geo-restricted content common with the streaming industry, although the nature of it can vary.<\/p>\n

Netflix and Prime, for example, each of these offer various content libraries around the globe for multiple countries, and these are not accessible in other regions.<\/p>\n

Hulu, unlike this, is limited to the USA only, and when trying to access Hulu New Zealand, you may gain access to their site, yet you won\u2019t be able to watch any content.<\/p>\n

To begin with, Hulu determines your location by detecting user IP addresses. It uses these to mark locations and thus to block access when they are not US-based.<\/p>\n

The easy method is to mask your IP address by replacing it with an anonymous US IP address. You can do this with a premium streaming VPN service.<\/p>\n

You must use a reliable streaming VPN, which offers an extensive VPN server network and proven working with Hulu.<\/p>\n

While there are tons of VPN providers<\/a>, not many can reliably bypass restrictions and access the Hulu website or apps.<\/p>\n
