What can I watch on Hulu with Fire Stick?

Although there is a kids section, Hulu is packed with grown-up content from multiple networks, including Starz, ABC, Fox, ESPN, and more.

There are thousands of viewing options to suit every taste, from award-winning films like Parasite and American Animals, to TV dramas like 9-1-1, documentaries like I am Greta, and popular shows including Shark Tank and Last Man Standing.
