Original programming is a term used for in-house television, film or web series productions to which the exclusive domestic and, if the originating service operates non-domestic versions of the service outside of their home country, international broadcast rights are held by traditional and over-the-top content providers. The term was originally coined by Home Box Office (HBO) in 1982, when the premium service began producing its own slate of in-house series and film productions. Original series on the network were initially branded under "HBOriginal" until 1986, and by 1993, the "Originals" term had expanded to encompass most of its original productions. The term eventually expanded into use by various cable-originated television networks to identify their in-house productions, in order to advertise them as being distinct from the acquired content offered to fill out the remainder of their programming schedule.
