How Do Hulu Parental Controls Work?

Hulu allows you to create separate profiles for each person who watches on your account. When setting one up, you have the option to make it a kids profile, which is limited to family-friendly shows and movies. Shows rated R or TV-MA don’t show up in a Hulu kids profile.

Block Access to Non-Kids Profiles With a PIN

Even if you set up a kid profile on Hulu, your children can still access other profiles unless those profiles are protected with a PIN.

Limitations of Hulu Parental Controls

Hulu’s parental controls are not as extensive as parental controls for Netflix. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to block specific shows or movies, or limit access to PG or TV-Y content only, so your kids can still watch PG-13 and TV-14 rated content. If you set up parental controls for your streaming device, then you can block kids from accessing Hulu altogether.
