YouTube is ramping up original content, with 50 shows slated for 2019. They announced that they’ll be beefing up their ad-free SVOD’s bid in the streaming wars by adding content that ranges from docu-series and dark comedies to a reality adventure series and “social impact stuff that is entertaining.” Since 2016, they’ve released 65 shows and movies, so 50 in one year signifies a major uptick.
