streaming original
Service-commissioned new show
A streaming original is a film or television series produced by or exclusively for a streaming platform rather than theatrical release or traditional broadcast.
Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and similar services commission these productions to attract and retain subscribers: The streaming original dominated the Emmy nominations.
The term distinguishes platform-exclusive content from licensed material available elsewhere.
