Parting Thoughts

Hulu is an important channel on your TV as it keeps shuffling the library with new content and Hulu Originals. Hulu Originals are nothing but stunners, and then who cannot watch the reruns of The Office and The Handmaid’s Tales any day? Hence it is important that you can get Hulu on Apple TV. 

The settings in the Apple TV aren’t forthcoming originally, but there are some changes you can make to get Hulu on Apple TV. To add to the trouble, being in New Zealand gives you more hoops to jump.

The streaming service is only available in New Zealand; therefore, you need to get a plan with VPN, such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN, which sorts out both problems. ExpressVPN or NordVPN helps you access the geo-restricted content and sorts the setting that otherwise is in the way of getting Hulu on Apple TV in New Zealand.
