Why Love Island is on Hulu instead of Disney Plus

Disney owns both Disney Plus and Hulu, but they use each service for different types of content. Disney Plus focuses on family-friendly programming, including Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars content. Hulu carries more general entertainment, including reality TV, dramas, comedies, and adult-oriented shows. Love Island, which features dating and adult themes, fits Hulu's content strategy rather than Disney Plus's.

This separation is intentional — Disney uses Hulu as the home for content that would not fit on Disney Plus. So even though the same company owns both services, they remain separate platforms with different content libraries and subscription costs.
