Hulu/YouTube
Hulu is the perfect streaming service for beginner cord-cutters thanks to its diverse range of price options and the variety of streaming devices it supports. But there’s one aspect of Hulu that even longtime users might now know about: VR programming. Here’s everything you need to know about Hulu VR.
What is Hulu VR?
Hulu VR is a new way to watch Hulu’s massive library of TV shows and movies, along with some special programs just for VR users. Users who have downloaded Hulu’s VR app for their supported VR device can watch the service’s entire 2D library from their headset. Browse your favorite shows using a 360-degree 3D interface, kick back in a virtual living room for an episode of Seinfeld, or check out one Hulu’s special VR programs.
Watching Hulu via VR allows for a more intimate viewing experience, freeing your eyes of the distractions of your living space. No dogs running in front of the screen, no roommates commandeering the TV during your favorite shows—just you and your goggles.
Hulu VR is more than just a virtual reality hangout for your favorite shows. The company is investing in VR-specific shows, with over 100 programs available at the moment.
What can you watch on Hulu VR?
Hulu subscribers can watch Hulu’s entire library through their VR glasses, with Showtime being the current add-on channel supporting the service. Shows you watch in Hulu VR are still viewed in 2D unless specifically noted.
If you’re looking for 360-degree VR programming, however, Hulu still has you covered. With over 100 VR programs available, ranging from sports to comedy to short films, Hulu has the largest VR library in streaming. Featuring exclusive content from Hulu, Live Nation, National Geographic, and more, Hulu VR makes a solid argument that VR is the future of viewing. Best of all, you can watch Hulu’s VR exclusive content for the time being even if you don’t have a Hulu subscription.

Hulu VRs library of 360-degree content contains dozens of programs, but this is its crown jewel. Door No. 1 is an interactive VR adventure that puts you in the lead role of your own comedy as you navigate your 10-year high school reunion—if you went to high school with Snoop Dogg and character actors like Steve Agee, Johnny Pemberton, and Sarah Baker. Door No. 1 is a fun experiment for the service. As the plot advances, you choose divergent plot paths using your headset. Whether you take a chance on romance or get high with the band, have a high school reunion unlike any you’ve experienced before.
