Currently, there is a notable wave of cancellations of Hulu and Disney+ subscriptions primarily driven by a boycott movement linked to the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show by ABC, owned by Disney. This backlash has sparked widespread calls for subscription cancellations under hashtags like #CancelDisney and #CancelHulu on social media. Thousands of people have canceled their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN subscriptions recently as a protest against this issue, with numbers described as in the thousands and potentially much higher if the movement grows stronger. Notable celebrities have also publicly called for canceling these services to send a message regarding their values. Exact subscriber loss numbers for both Hulu and Disney+ have not been officially quantified or released by Disney as of now, but anecdotal evidence from social media and Reddit discussions suggests a significant impact with thousands of confirmed cancellations reported by users on these platforms in September 2025.
