In this guide, we will show you the steps to disable the Up Next/AutoPlay next episode feature of Hulu across numerous devices.

This feature has been adopted by numerous streaming services and is done to keep users hooked on their service for a longer time frame. However, Hulu’s implementation of this feature has been an abject failure.

So is there a way out? Well, there does exist a nifty workaround that should help you to disable the Up Next /AutoPlay next episode feature of Hulu and effectively address this issue for good.
