FAQs: How to Cancel or Pause Hulu Subscription

What Happens After You Cancel Hulu?

After you cancel your Hulu subscription, your account stays active until the end of your current billing period. You can still watch Hulu content during this time. After the period ends, you will lose access, but your account and watch history are saved. If you return later, you can pick up where you left off.

Will I Be Charged Again After Cancellation?

No, once you cancel Hulu, you will not be charged again. However, if you cancel after your billing date, you may still see one last charge for the final month. Always cancel before your next billing date to avoid unwanted charges.
