Canceling streaming subscriptions can feel like a maze, especially with all the different settings and hidden options! I’ve always enjoyed Hulu’s wide selection of movies, TV shows, and original content—their library truly has something for everyone. But when I decided to take a break from streaming (my backlog was out of control!), I was initially a bit uncertain about how to cancel Hulu without getting charged again. Don’t worry—this guide breaks down the process step by step so you can cancel your Hulu subscription with total confidence.
