Here at Hulu, we want to make sure entertainment fans have access to hit TV shows and movies right at their fingertips at all times. We don’t think you should have to fall behind on current season episodes of Modern Family while traveling, or wait until you get home to re-watch last night’s hilarious SNL skit after chatting about it with a friend over coffee.
That’s why I’m excited to announce that today Hulu Plus is available on Amazon’s Kindle Fire. Subscribe to Hulu Plus for $7.99/month and download the free Hulu Plus app from the Amazon Appstore for Android on Kindle Fire, then via Wi-Fi, instantly stream current season episodes of top shows like Family Guy, The Office, Hart of Dixie and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. With a tap of a finger, immediately launch entire back seasons of classic series like Lost and Grey’s Anatomy, or explore hundreds of acclaimed movies from Miramax and The Criterion Collection.
Our never-ending mission is to bring you the world’s premium content when, where and how you want. Stay tuned as we launch on more devices.

Hulu Plus was working just fine this past Saturday on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but as of today, 2/9/11, it all of a sudden is saying “Unfortunately, this video is not available on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience” for every show..Pardon my french but..what the F$#k is going on?
I’m really disappointed that my Kindle Fire is stating that Hulu is not available on Androids (I guess it means the Fire). I’ll be cancelling my Hulu account.
I’m about to cancel my subscription. I can’t watch hulu+ on my kindle fire because of constant buffering, defeats the purpose of paying for a subscription I can’t even use. Please fix this issue, thanks!
Why cnt I watch my shows for free..on my fire? I go onto the web site and its black it wont even play the preview. Helppp
So hulu plus has kindle fire support, but not regular hulu. Cant even watch movies on the website for free on the very device I’m typing from….
Another GT10.1 here. I too wish you would release a version for my tab but please don’t release a sub-standard app just to placate the mob. i would rather wait another month for a quality app than get something now only to be frustrated with your UI and functionality. if you’d like an objective beta tester, let me know.
Not sure if anyone else has this problem but when I try and watch episodes on my kindle fire it has constant buffering. The app I am using is the one made for the fire also. This makes it very annoying to watch anything. I have the one week trial on this cause i wanted to try it out before subscribing. Sadly I will probably cancel since it doesn’t work. I have no problem streaming with Amazon so not sure what the deal is here.
I too have a Galaxy Tab (8.9″) which was the replacement for my Kindle Fire (which didn’t live up to my standards). I had NO IDEA that Hulu Plus wasn’t supported on this popular tablet device. In fact, I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab with the assumption (incorrect, apparently) that since it was so popular, it would have support for H+. I, too will be canceling my sub until this is resolved.
I’m in the same boat as Cameron above. There’s no way to establish a Hulu account on the Kindle fire. Why no response?
Wow Robert,
No support for the galaxy tab huh? Can’t believe the kindle fire has access. Oh well, canceling my hulu plus. I’ll be watching my netflix in the meantime. Let me know when its available and I’ll resubscribe.
Hey, is there any way to create a new Hulu Plus account on the Kindle Fire? I see a log in button but not sign up or something like that. Thanks
I cant wait
Hey Robert, thanks for posting. I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused by the lack of support for those two tablets. Because Android phones and tablets each have a different set of specifications that we need to take into account, we’re only able to support a select number of them at this point in time. While I don’t have a time frame to share right now, we’ll be adding new Android devices regularly. Again, I’m sorry for the frustration. We’re working hard to bring Hulu Plus to a wide variety of Android devices as soon as possible. Thanks for being patient with us in the meantime. If there’s anything else I can address for you, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike

How can you so quickly create an app for Fire, but omit support for the two hottest Android tablets in existence, that have been around for a lot longer, the Galaxy Tab and the Toshiba Thrive? Do the manufacturers you support give Hulu a kick-back to support their devices? That’s the only plausible explanation for Hulu’s seemingly skewed view of the real world.
Add me to the list of those cancelling H+ until common sense returns.
Why can’t a free hulu app be created for the fire? I don’t want to invest in paying for hulu plus since there’s not much difference between it and the normal version.
Hi Jeff,
I’m sorry to hear you’ll be canceling at this time. Hopefully you’ll be back with us once we can officially support your product. Thanks for writing as well as being a member of our Hulu community. Happy Holidays sir!
Still no support for my Galaxy Tab but you can quickly create an app for the Fire? I will be canceling my account this month.
I feel the same way. I have the pinnacle of Android phones released in the US at the current moment in time, and yet I cannot watch Hulu Plus on it. I pay for your service, and supporting something that just came out when the Galaxy S2 has been out for a few months…something smells of money and business deals, and not giving a flip about the people who actually pay you to for privilege of having only the theoretical possibility of watching Hulu wherever they are instead of the actual possibility.
Seriously, folks. “Soon” is a placeholder term, and your customers are smarter than that.
Regarding why Hulu plus not available on samsung mobile device. I would say that Samsung not yet willing to pay Hulu for some fee that enable Hulu to develop a version on their device as it has always been about licensing issue for viewing on mobile platform. I guess motorola/htc/google ( nexus s is google phone, not owned by samsung) paid this fee to enrich their mobile device, where samsung have not yet willing to do so. As much as Hulu want their software to be available widely, they have to abide to those content licensing rule, which ultimately a required fee from mobile device manufacture having to pay. All these are just my speculation , but it seem quite logical to me.
If you have to update some movies and series, thanks.
As a PAYING Hulu Plus customer, I have to agree that your priorities are a little skewed… Hulu is suddenly available on the Kindle fire, but not on the Galaxy Tab 10.1? Seriously?
at least answer this… What is the expected ETA to release hulu plus on already existing popular android tablets (Xoom, Galaxy TAb 10.1 etc)?… (Oh, and “soon” is not an answer!)
Im trying to figure out why I have never heard about any of these movies on Hulu. They are all old school or foreign. Hulu needs more updated movies that is more recent like transformers, white chicks, etc. Or funny animated, action, or dramas that are recent. But i love the television shows.
-Thank you!!:)
I’m wondering the same thing -why is Hulu Plus not available for ANY Samsung android devices (not counting the Nexus S)? Can somebody please help us understand why Samsung android devices have been systematically neglected by Hulu Plus while Samsung android devices are the largest selling manufacturer of android devices.
Apart from that – it is good news that Hulu Plus will be on the Kindle Fire.
How about making your Hulu Plus app available for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch? Which has been available for awhile now. Should people with this phone cancel your service?
