In December of 2019, Landgraf predicted that the number of scripted shows in the coming year would go above and beyond, with there being more than 530 originals.
And, it turns out that he was correct, as data gathered by FX’s research team showed there were 532 scripted dramas, comedies and limited series on air.
Speaking of Fox, FX takes a look at the state of scripted television every year, and the 2020 Television Critics Association winter press tour has seen the cabler’s CEO, John Landgraf, reveal just how many such shows viewers have to wade through to figure out what they want to watch.
