What are the alternatives to Hayu in Australia?
We're at the point where there are a tonne of places to stream content in Australia. Hayu is great for reality TV shows but Australians can also sign up for Netflix, Stan, Binge, Paramount Plus, Amazon Prime Video, BritBox, Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus as well as access free catch-up options from ABC (iView), Ten (Tenplay), Seven (7Plus), Nine (9Now), and SBS (On Demand).

Let's not forget The Kardashians, which you'll find over on Disney Plus.
