Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger suggested he would like to keep the Hulu streaming service as part of a broader online TV offering aimed at kids and adults and has held talks with partner Comcast Corp. about buying the rest of it.
Iger, who returned to run the media giant in November, questioned earlier this year whether Disney should keep Hulu and its slate of general entertainment shows. The service, which features edgy dramas such as The Handmaid’s Tale and The Bear, is aimed at more adult audiences than the Disney+ service.
