The first product to launch was the HULU Syndication network, which was designed and developed by the NBC Universal team from New York, on October 29, 2007, lead by Tom Sharma, followed by the destinations site. Hulu launched for public access in the United States on March 12, 2008. In October 2007, Hulu began the private beta testing by invitation, and later allowed users to invite friends. It invited users to leave their email addresses for the upcoming beta test. The name Hulu was chosen in late August 2007, when the website went live, with an announcement only and no content. Jason Kilar was named Hulu CEO in late 2007. Hulu was announced in March 2006 with AOL, NBC Universal (then co-owned by General Electric and Vivendi), MSN, Myspace, and Yahoo! planned as "initial distribution partners". Individuals instrumental in the founding of Hulu include Bruce Campbell, Peter Chernin, JB Perrette, Mike Lang, Beth Comstock, George Kliavkoff, Darren Feher and Jason Kilar. And so when we were launching Hulu, we thought, 'what a great name that is.' And it had this great sort of symbolism of the holder of precious things, which is the holder of premium content. Jason Kilar, who served as CEO of Hulu, said the name comes from a Chinese proverb:
The name Hulu comes from two Mandarin Chinese words, húlu ( 葫芦/ 葫蘆), " calabash bottle gourd", and hùlù ( 互录/ 互錄), "interactive recording". As of January 1, 2022, Hulu has a total of 45.3 million subscribers (4.3 million from Hulu with Live TV). In 2017, the company launched Hulu with Live TV-an over-the-top IPTV service featuring linear television channels.

In 2010, Hulu became the first streaming service to add "Plus" to its name when it launched a subscription service, initially branded as Hulu Plus, which featured full seasons of programs from the companies and other partners, and undelayed access to new episodes.

Hulu was initially established as a joint venture between News Corporation and NBC Universal, Providence Equity Partners, and later The Walt Disney Company, serving as an aggregation of recent episodes of television series from their respective television networks.
Launched on October 29, 2007, it offers a library of films and television series from networks such as ABC, NBC, or FX Networks, as well as Hulu original programming.
