Scripted TV originals hit a record high of 455 in 2016, according to a study released by cable network FX, but apparently we still haven’t hit ‘Peak TV’.
Julie Piepenkotter, executive vice president of research at FX Netwoks, said peak TV was “once again far from peaky in 2016”.
“I wrongly predicted that we’d hit the peak in 2015 or 2016,” he said at the time.
Of the 455 scripted originals, online services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon represent 93 series, with the streaming originals category experiencing a whopping 1,450 per cent jump since 2011, EW reports.
