original movies
Not sequel content
Original movies are films produced directly by a streaming service, network, or studio rather than acquired from outside sources.
The term gained prominence with platforms like Netflix and Hulu distinguishing their in-house productions from licensed content: Netflix originals, Hulu original movies.
The label signals exclusive availability on that platform, though the films may later appear elsewhere.
