Hulu hasn't said whether or not its exclusive is just for the US or applies worldwide -- we've asked the company if it can elaborate. If it's international in scope, that rules out ER streaming in most countries given that Hulu is virtually non-existent outside of the US and Japan.

Either way, it's a coup for Hulu as it fights for exclusives that could give it an edge over Amazon and Netflix. It also partly addresses an ongoing problem with access to classic shows on streaming services. While there have been previous deals to stream well-known shows like Seinfeld, there have still been conspicuous omissions like ER. It's now that much easier to recreate your old TV viewing habits without spending a fortune in the process.
