Linking Hulu Subscription through iTunes to my Tv app on Mac

I have multiple subscriptions to various streaming services, like Hulu+, through iTunes. However, when I open the TV app on my new Mac, it shows some (like Showtime, AMC+ etc) in the What to Watch next or My Channels. Hulu+ does not appear there so I have to either watch it on my iPad using the Hulu app or watch it in Chrome browser.

Anyone know how to link it to my iTunes so I can see it on the TV app on my MacBook under My Channels?

Hello,

The TV App works differently on Macs then it does with iPads, iPhones, or Apple TV.

This is because of the different App Stores and which device types Hulu has an app built for. On iPad the TV app links to the Hulu app rather than their service directly. If/when Hulu builds a macOS app their content could potentially tie into the Mac TV app.

If you look at the description of the Hulu app in the App Store, Hulu mentions this and other limitations.

A possible workaround could be starting a Hulu show/movie on the iPad then streaming its playback to your MacBook screen. Wirelessly stream video, photos, and audio from your iPad to a Mac - Apple Support

I hope this helps.
