In the world of streaming services, Hulu has always been a popular choice for TV and movie lovers. However, it was only until recently that Hulu started to make waves in the original content space. In 2011, FX announced its partnership with Hulu to bring their programs to a wider audience through the streaming service.
FX is known for producing critically acclaimed shows such as American Horror Story, Fargo and Atlanta. These shows are now available on Hulu along with other popular FX titles like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Archer.
The partnership between these two companies has proven successful over the years with several Emmy nominations and wins for their collaborative projects. The most notable being The Handmaid’s Tale which is an original series produced by both companies.
Hulu recognized the importance of having quality original content in order to compete with other streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Their collaboration with FX allowed them access to some of the best writers, directors and actors in Hollywood which resulted in high-quality programming that has kept audiences engaged.
In addition to this partnership, Hulu also launched their own slate of original programming like The Act starring Patricia Arquette which earned her an Emmy award for Best Supporting Actress. Other noteworthy originals include PEN15, Ramy, Shrill and Little Fires Everywhere which stars Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington.
This strategic move by Hulu has definitely paid off as they continue to attract subscribers who appreciate quality television shows that rival those found on cable networks or even traditional broadcast television. As we look towards the future of streaming services, it’s clear that collaborations will be key – not just between studios but also between platforms – if they hope to remain relevant in a highly competitive market.
