History

Historical Context

Netflix’s launch of *House of Cards* on February 1 2013—13 episodes produced for the streaming-only service—proved the viability of original content released all at once, earning 33 Emmy nominations and sparking the industry’s shift toward multi-platform distribution. Building on that model, FX’s comedy *Adults* will debut on August 27 2026 across FXX, Hulu and Disney+, echoing the cross-service strategy pioneered by Netflix.
