Google’s Chromecast wireless streaming dongles will now support content from the US movie and TV streaming service Hulu Plus.
Addition of support for Chromecast brings shows like “Modern Family,” “New Girl” and “Parks and Recreation,” to the big-screen via your smartphone or tablet. As with other Chromcast apps, to view the content on a TV, you simply hit the ‘Cast’ button which is now present in the app.

Update: The new Hulu apps with support for Chromecast are now live for iOS and Android.
