"The Decline of Peak TV: Original Series Numbers Fall for First Time in a Decade"

FX's annual tally of original series revealed a 12% drop in scripted titles on air in 2023, marking the first reduction in over a decade. This decline comes after a peak of 600 shows in 2022, and FX Chairman John Landgraf's prediction of a decline has been proven right. The industry is experiencing a contraction, with many attributing the decrease to a mismatch of money and human attention in producing 600 television series. The long-tail of production has softened the decline, and the number of new shows in the first half of the year was not disclosed. FX's list includes original English-language scripted series but does not include foreign-language shows, kids titles, or short-form content.
