In order to access this feature, you must be a part of Hulu’s No Ads plan which may initially turn a few customers away. However, by just paying $11.99 a month you will be able to access both no ads and offline downloads. Viewers will be able to download up to 25 different titles. However, the content will expire just two days after saving. If the content does end up expiring before gaining a chance to watch, you can renew an expired download as long as the title is still available through Hulu. Catching up with Amazon Prime and Netflix’s offline downloadable services places a huge advantage on Hulu’s original shows and movies.
