You wanted to watch Hulu in Germany but discovered that Hulu is not available in Germany? To put simply, it goes down to rights. Hulu only has the rights to show its content in the US.
As a result, it needs to place blocks in place so that people like you can’t watch it places like Germany.
This also applies to all major streaming platforms that also aren’t available in Germany.
There is a way to unblock Hulu in Germany, though if you follow these 3-steps and have some patience.
On paper, this doesn’t look easy at all, and in fact, it’s not quite as easy. However, that’s because other guides out there don’t walk you through all of the steps for watching Hulu in Germany. Such as about how to sign up
for Hulu using an American card.
We’ll walk you through all these 3 steps to get Hulu in Germany.
This is the step of this guide that most guides get right.
You do, in fact, need to get a VPN to watch Hulu in Germany.
VPN services like PrivateVPN allow you to connect to a variety of servers around the world while changing your location virtually in the process.
In this instance, you need to connect to an American server.
What not all guides mention is that not all VPN services work with Hulu.
That’s because Hulu is aware of VPN servers and has to put blocks in place so that people cannot easily watch Hulu in places like Germany.
That’s why you need to look for services that focus on entertainment over quantity specifically.
PrivateVPN does by offering far fewer servers than of that of competition but instead focusing on the quality of servers, which is why it supports all the main services on the planet.
Oh, and you can try it out for free with the 7-day trial that doesn’t require a card, and then use it for as little as $3.82 per month.
Like we mentioned already, to use Hulu in Germany, you need a card from a supported region.
That means the US.
That, for many, has been a problem for years and often prevented people from signing up for Hulu.
And that’s one of the reasons why we’ve been on a search for solutions to this issue for so long...
And we found a great one that’s quick to set up and most importantly is safe and accessible for many.
The solution to sign up for Hulu in Germany?
You probably heard of it already, and might already even use it, but if not, Revolut is an online bank.
And for some reason, it works with Hulu.
We tested both our premium, metal, and virtual cards with it, and they all worked.
In fact, they also worked with ESPN+.
We aren’t by any means affiliated with Revolut, but it is the quickest way to join Hulu as you can use virtual cards right away when you sign up.

Revolut + right PrivateVPN server = Hulu in Germany.

...But only on certain devices.
See, the Hulu app isn’t automatically available worldwide, and unless you watch with desktop mode turned on or on your computer, you most likely need the app.
Here’s how to get watch Hulu in Germany on your devices:
When it comes to the iPhone, it’s a very simple set of steps.
After you download Hulu in Germany, you can sign back into your old account, and you’ll still have access to everything along with Hulu.
Whatever you do, though, don’t change your region with your current account. That’s creative outside of the box thinking, except, it will result in you losing all your data, so not a good option.
Be aware that this change might take up to 48 hours to update, but tends to happen right away after you restart the Google Play Store app.
You can always just turn on the “Desktop site” in Chrome, though, to watch it from your web browser.
Alternatively, search for Hulu.apk on Google and download it like that. Just make sure you download it from a trusted source.
This is where watching Hulu gets a little bit more complicated.
VPN services aren’t supported on most TVs or platforms such as Apple TV, Chromecast, or Roku.
And that makes watching Hulu hard.
The solution? To get a TV with Android TV or to get an Amazon Fire TV Stick, which is very affordable and supports VPN services.
Here’s how to set up Hulu in Germany on the Fire TV:
