Quick verdict
Hayu is easy to recommend only to committed reality-TV viewers. Its focused catalogue can be better value than a broad service if it contains your programmes, but rights, episodes and prices vary by country.
What it offers in 2026
Hayu streams reality series on demand across many European markets plus Australia, New Zealand, Canada and selected Asian markets. It advertises ad-free viewing, flexible plans and a trial for eligible new subscribers. Some users subscribe through Prime Video or another platform instead of directly.
Main features
- Reality-TV-focused on-demand catalogue
- New episodes for supported shows
- Mobile and TV-device apps
- Downloads or offline features on supported plans and devices
- Monthly, multi-month and annual options
Pricing and fees
Prices vary by country and billing channel. Hayu’s support page currently lists UK examples of £5.99 monthly, £28.99 for six months and £52.99 yearly, while promotional pages may show different offers. Confirm auto-renewal and cancellation location.
Limitations and risks
Not every show is available in every market, and episodes can leave. Direct, Apple, Google and Prime Video subscriptions may have different management and device rules. Test playback and subtitles during the trial.
Who is it best for?
Best for viewers who can name several current Hayu shows they will watch. Casual reality fans should use a trial or single month before taking an annual plan.
Our practical recommendation
Check the live checkout, permissions and cancellation terms on your own device. Use the free tier, trial or shortest plan first where possible, and keep transaction records for paid services.
