Binge all The Handmaid’s Tale you want at any time

Streaming service Hulu finally catches up to Netflix by offering downloads for offline mobile viewing. But Android-using fans of The Handmaid’s Tale, don’t get your phones out just yet — the option is currently only available to Apple users on mobile devices.

Unlike Netflix, which lets you download for offline viewing at all plan levels, this option will only be available to Hulu users on the $11.99 a month no-commercial plan. For those on the Spotify Premium with Hulu plan and the upcoming Disney Plus bundle, both of which offer the basic $5.99 a month Hulu with ads, there won’t be any option to download for offline. Hulu will allow users to download a maximum of 25 titles across five different devices. Downloads will be available for 30 days and will expire two days after a user plays it. If you want more, just renew an expired download when you’re back online.

Hulu is currently home to critically acclaimed series The Handmaid’s Tale and Shrill, as well as licensed content like Brooklyn 99 and Love Island. Not all Hulu content will be available to download, though a Hulu representative declined to clarify to Variety which titles are exempt.
