original programming
In-house produced shows
Original programming refers to content created by or exclusively for a particular network, streaming service, or platform, as opposed to licensed or syndicated material acquired from elsewhere.
The term became prominent with the rise of streaming services producing their own shows: Netflix's original programming includes both critically acclaimed series and forgettable filler.
The phrase emphasizes ownership and exclusivity rather than artistic originality.
