History

Historical Context

The binge-release model began when Netflix launched the 13-episode first season of House of Cards on February 1 2013, the platform’s first original series and a catalyst for the streaming boom that later spawned services such as Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+. Building on that global-premiere strategy, Apple TV+ is debuting Ted Lasso Season 4 worldwide on August 5 2026 with synchronized embargoes across five continents.
