The streaming platform also advises new customers to sign up to Sky Ultimate TV from £24 a month as it brings together Sky TV, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and Hayu in one subscription. Sky has said: “Hayu is the home of reality TV, featuring global franchises including The Real Housewives and Below Deck. “The July launch builds on the “Taste of Hayu” preview introduced in March, when Sky gave customers a first look at Hayu as part of Sky Ultimate TV.” Hayu is available to Sky Ultimate TV, Sky Q (except Essentials and Basic), and Sky+ customers from 14 July Eligible Sky TV customers can now watch full seasons of Hayu shows on demand through the Sky TV homepage and stay up to date with the latest episodes the same day as the US, better helping customers dodge spoilers on social media.

Whether paid for directly or through Sky Marketplace, regardless of the merger, you will continue paying for Hayu unless you cancel it yourself, as Sky will not do it for you. Comment now
