It appears that this is happening as subscribers are watching a series or content again. This might explain why shows on Hulu are starting at the end.

However, multiple reports suggest that Hulu subscribers are facing a lot of inconvenience because of this.

Subscribers may not have to dwell with this for too long as the VOD service provider has acknowledged the issue.

As per the official Hulu Support Twitter handle, they are aware of the said issue due to multiple subscribers reporting about it.

Also, a fix for the shows staring at the end issue is being looked into. However, just like many other issues with the VOD service, it is unclear clear how long it will take to fix this one.

In the meantime, users can remove the shows or programs they are watching again from their watch history to get rid of the said problem.

Hopefully, the VOD service provider resolves all such issues soon as no one likes to pay for a service with so many problems.

That said, we will be back with more details as and when new information becomes available so stay tuned.

IST 11:02 am: According to reports, Hulu has been facing issues related to autoplay, where it abruptly stops an episode and displays a black screen.
