History

Historical Context

Netflix’s 2013 launch of House of Cards—its first original series released on February 1—proved that a streaming platform could fund and release a full-season drama, later earning Emmy wins and reaching roughly 30 % of U.S. households. That breakthrough set the model Apple TV+ follows now, renewing Slow Horses for an eighth season as the service expands premium original content.
