In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to install the Hulu Kodi addon. The steps apply to any Kodi-supported device, including the Amazon FireStick, Android TV, Windows, Mac, NVIDIA SHIELD, Android mobile, and iOS. The addon is compatible with Kodi 20 Nexus and Kodi 21 Omega.
What is Hulu Kodi Addon?
The Hulu addon allows you to stream movies, TV shows, live TV, and other content available on Hulu directly via Kodi. Instead of using the Hulu app or website to stream your favorite content on Hulu, you install a plugin on Kodi that pulls streaming links from the official platform.
The Hulu addon is hosted on The SlyGuy Repository. Although SlyGuy is a third-party repository, it hosts legal addons. These include Hulu, Fox Sports, ESPN, Disney+, Pluto TV, and HBO Max.
Note: You need a Hulu subscription to stream content on the Hulu Kodi addon.
For Kodi Users!
ISPs, hackers, and other third-party entities worldwide may monitor your online activities. For security, privacy, and smooth streaming, it is recommended to use a reliable VPN for Kodi. Your IP address is visible to sites you visit.
I recommend ExpressVPN, a fast and secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, and Smartphones. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with their service, you can request a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Is the Hulu Addon Safe and Legal?
As mentioned, the SlyGuy Repository, which hosts the Hulu addon, is a third-party repository. This raises safety questions. I scanned the repository zip file on VirusTotal to check for suspicious files. As you can see in the screenshot below, all 64 security vendors gave it a green flag.
Hulu Kodi addon is 100% legal even though it is available through a third-party repository. You must have a legitimate Hulu subscription to use this addon. Furthermore, the content library is restricted to the US, just as the Hulu app is.
Of course, you can use a reliable VPN, such as ExpressVPN, to watch it from anywhere in the world.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the Hulu addon on Kodi.
You’re now all set. A quick reminder: your internet provider and many websites/apps can see your IP address and some details about your connection. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic and masks your IP address, which helps protect your online privacy.
I recommend ExpressVPN. It’s a reputable VPN with strong encryption and fast connections, and it’s straightforward to install on Fire TV/FireStick and other devices.
Next, I’ll show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN.
Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it for free for the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below.
Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.
The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.
Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE (if you are not already subscribed).
Step 5: Go to the Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by the Search option (see image below).
Step 6: Type Expressvpn in the search bar and select it when it shows up.
Step 7: Click Download.
Step 8: Open the ExpressVPN app and Sign in using the email ID and password that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription.
Step 9: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your FireStick is now secured with the fastest VPN.
