Why did Louie disappear recently from Hulu only recently?
-
Turns out Hulu's license for Louie expired -- the FX comedy wasn't pulled belatedly because of Louis CK sexual harassment scandal. As Michael Schneider notes, "streaming services have been less likely to remove library content of disgraced stars. For example, although Netflix fired Kevin Spacey from Season 6 of House of Cards, older episodes starring the actor remain on the service, along with other library titles featuring the actor."
