    Hulu launches $12 ad-free streaming service

    SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) --

    Video-streaming company Hulu is introducing an ad-free version of its subscription service for $4 extra a month as competition for streaming customers heats up.

    The service with ads costs $8 and the ad-free version costs $12. The company said customers asked for an ad-free option.

    Competition is getting tougher among video-streaming services as providers seek to add more offerings to attract viewers.

    On Tuesday, Amazon said subscribers of its $99 annual Prime membership program will be able to download some shows and movies to watch offline. Users will now be able to download shows like "Downton Abbey" and "The Good Wife," HBO shows including "Girls" and "Veep" and movies including "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and "The Wolf of Wall Street." Previously, that capability was available only on Amazon's own Fire devices.

    Netflix and Hulu offer streaming content only.

    Netflix is the largest streaming service, with 65.6 million subscribers worldwide. Hulu has about 9 million and Amazon doesn't disclose the number of Prime subscribers it has.

    Hulu has been working to expand its content lineup. It recently signed a deal with Epix to stream films from Lionsgate, MGM and Paramount. And it lets subscribers stream Showtime content for an additional $9 a month.

    Entropico hires across indie film, advertising and growth at its U.S. operation

    Tuesday, March 17, 2026
    Entropico's (l-r) Angus Mullane, Farah Jabir and Emily Brown

    Entropico, the global creative studio behind work for Google, Square, Atlassian, and Peloton, has made three senior hires across its U.S. offices--appointing Angus Mullane as head of growth (West Coast), Emily Brown as executive producer (New York), and Farah Jabir as sr. producer (New York). First established in Australia, Entropico maintains offices in Sydney, Los Angeles and New York City.

    The U.S. hires span three distinct worlds: founder-led startup growth, global agency production, and independent filmmaking. Together, they reflect Entropico’s thesis that the most effective go-to-market content today lives at the intersection of cinematic craft, brand strategy, and startup speed--and that the companies building the future deserve a production partner built for all three.

    The expansion comes as high-growth companies--particularly in AI, fintech, developer tools, and consumer tech--are shifting beyond performance-only creative toward brand platforms and launch moments that unlock trust, talent, partnerships, and long-term pricing power. Entropico is positioning itself as the studio that can deliver both: the cinematic quality of a brand film and the velocity of a startup’s content engine.

    “The best companies today don’t separate ‘brand’ from ‘growth’--they need content that does both, and they need it yesterday,” said Olivia Ravasio, Entropico’s US CEO. “These three hires give us the range to meet that demand. Angus has built and scaled a content agency. Emily has produced global campaigns at the highest level. Farah brings a filmmaker’s eye that makes everything more artful. That combination is rare, and it’s exactly what the fastest companies in the world need from a production partner.”
