Delta’s New In-Flight Entertainment: What to Expect in 2026

Starting this month, passengers on Delta Air Lines flights can enjoy Hulu original programming on the aircraft’s in-seat entertainment screens. Delta now boasts more seat-back screens than any other airline, having equipped its 700th aircraft with screens at every passenger seat.

Available Hulu originals on Delta include The Handmaid’s Tale, The Mindy Project, Castle Rock, Shrill and other popular series. These additions complement the carrier’s existing entertainment library, which already offers more than 3,000 movies, television episodes and music choices free to passengers during their flights.

“Customers continue to tell us entertainment is a top priority,” said Ekrem Dimbiloglu, director of onboard product and customer experience at Delta. “That’s why we keep expanding the number of aircraft with seat-back entertainment and partner with leading content providers like Hulu to bring passengers the shows they enjoy at 30,000 feet. These investments strengthen Delta’s position as an airline focused on superior in-flight entertainment.”

Delta’s in-flight entertainment program aims to deliver a broad and current selection of content across genres and audiences, ensuring travelers can stay entertained on short hops and long-haul trips alike. With the addition of Hulu originals, the airline enhances its lineup with acclaimed dramas, comedies and thrillers, offering options for a wide range of tastes and viewing preferences.

Passengers will find the new Hulu titles integrated into Delta’s existing entertainment interface, where they can browse featured picks, browse by genre, and access on-demand episodes and films. This seamless integration makes it simple to discover and stream favorite series during a flight without any additional fees.

Delta’s continued investment in seat-back screens reflects a broader strategy to improve the passenger experience through technology and content partnerships. By keeping screens available at more seats than any competitor and regularly updating the content catalog, the airline aims to provide consistent, high-quality entertainment across its fleet.

Whether traveling for business or leisure, passengers now have another reason to look forward to their time onboard: a familiar lineup of streaming originals, curated to make the journey more enjoyable. Delta’s partnership with Hulu underscores the airline’s commitment to delivering a modern in-flight experience that mirrors what customers expect at home.
