Is One Piece leaving Hulu? “Expires in XX days” message explained

One Piece fans in the United States can watch Luffy's adventures in several places. The anime is available on various streaming platforms, including such popular ones as Netflix and Hulu.

A note appeared next to One Piece episodes on the Hulu app, stating that they are due to expire in a dozen days (February 1, 2025). Viewers have begun to wonder if this means the OP will soon disappear from the streaming platform. At this point, aside from a notice next to the episodes, there is no notification from Hulu that it plans to remove One Piece in January or February 2025. The title is missing from the streamer's schedules, which list premieres and removals from the service.

So it is unclear whether One Piece will indeed disappear from Hulu in a dozen days. It is possible that Hulu's current license to stream One Piece will end in February, but the service is already seeking an extension, and although it cannot yet confirm this, One Piece will manage to stay in the library. Similar situations in streaming services happen regularly with licensed productions.

But if Hulu doesn't renew the license, it's not impossible that subscribers will have to say goodbye to One Piece soon. Fortunately, if this happens, Hulu is not the only place where the OP is available. If fans miss Luffy and his crew, the anime can still be watched on Crunchyroll and Netflix, among others. However, if one uses Hulu exclusively, then the situation will become more difficult.

We will keep you updated on the situation and if Hulu comments on the situation, we will share the news.
