Viewers are curious to know whether Once Upon a Time will be leaving Hulu in the coming days. The popular ABC drama series previously streamed on Netflix before moving exclusively to Disney+. In August 2023, it also became available on another Disney-owned platform, Hulu. It has now been nearly two years since all seven seasons began streaming on the service, but the show’s upcoming expiration has raised concerns.
Here are the details on when it’s leaving Hulu.
Here’s when Once Upon a Time is leaving Hulu
Once Upon a Time is expected to leave Hulu on August 31, 2025.
Since it’s an ABC show, there is a possibility that its license could be renewed, allowing it to continue streaming. However, no official confirmation has been made at this time. Fans grew concerned after learning about the show’s potential departure, prompting many to ask Hulu directly about its expiry. Addressing the concerns, Hulu Support wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“Apologies! We do our best to keep content in our library for as long as we can, but our rights may sometimes expire. While Once Upon a Time is currently set to expire, we’ll share your interest in seeing it stick around. Be sure to keep the show in your My Stuff to stay updated!”
Now, audiences await Hulu’s decision on whether it will renew the license or remove the series entirely from its library.
Once Upon a Time portrays Emma Swan, a woman living a regular life until her long-lost son, Henry, convinces her that she belongs to a magical world called Storybrooke. The series premiered in October 2011.
The main cast includes Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White / Mary Margaret Blanchard, Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan, Lana Parrilla as the Evil Queen / Regina Mills, Josh Dallas as Prince Charming / David Nolan, Andrew J. West as Henry Mills, and Raphael Sbarge as Jiminy Cricket / Dr. Archibald Hopper, among others.
