Original story (published on June 2, 2022) follows:

Hulu is one of the most popular and cheapest video streaming services available right now. With plans starting from $6.99, it has unsettled the market with its original shows like The Handmaid’s Tale.

As of Q4 2021, The Walt Disney-owned company had more than 43 million paid subscribers.

Apart from letting users watch original and partner content, the platform also offers over-the-top IPTV service enabling users to watch normal television channels.

But as is the case with every online service, users have been facing various problems such as audio not working on iPad after the iPadOS 15.4 update and old DVR recordings filling up storage because they couldn’t be deleted.

Adding to the long list of issues, Hulu users are now seeing Adult Swim label on regular shows and cartoons. Many are confused about why the platform is marking shows and cartoons under the Adult Swim banner (1,2,3,4,5).

A bunch of users tried restarting the Hulu app and reinstalling it to check if it was an issue on their end but soon found out they were not alone.

Below are some reports from Hulu subscribers who noticed that many cartoons and shows are under the Adult Swim label now.
