{{Short description|None}}

File:Facebook Watch.svg

Facebook Watch is a service that provides streaming of videos hosted by Facebook and access to "Facebook Original" series, shows that receive funding from Facebook. The service officially launched as Facebook Watch on August 10, 2017.

For short-form videos, Facebook originally had a budget of roughly $10,000–$40,000 per episode,{{cite web|first=Sahil|last=Patel|title=Facebook recruits its top publishers for exclusive shows|url=https://digiday.com/media/facebook-recruits-top-video-publishers-shows/|website=Digiday|date=May 25, 2017|access-date=December 15, 2017}} though renewal contracts have placed the budget in the range of $50,000–$70,000.{{cite web|first=Sahil|last=Patel|title=Bigger budgets, fewer shows: Facebook's deals for Watch are changing|url=https://digiday.com/media/facebook-watch-deals-changing/|website=Digiday|date=November 30, 2017|access-date=December 15, 2017}} Long-form TV-length series have budgets between $250,000 to over $1 million. The Wall Street Journal reported in September 2017 that the company was willing to spend up to $1 billion on original video content through 2018.{{cite web|first=Deepa|last=Seetharaman|title=Facebook Is Willing to Spend Big in Video Push|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-is-willing-to-spend-big-in-video-push-1504863181|website=The Wall Street Journal|publisher=Dow Jones & Company|date=September 8, 2017|access-date=December 15, 2017}}{{cite web|first=Swapna|last=Krishna|title=Facebook may spend $1 billion on original video in 2018|url=https://www.engadget.com/2017/09/08/facebook-1-billion-original-video/|website=Engadget|publisher=Oath Inc.|date=September 8, 2017|access-date=December 15, 2017}} In April 2023, Meta announced that they were scaling back on originals entirely, having already stopped developing scripted originals in 2020.{{cite web|first=Peter|last=White|title=Meta Content Exec Mina Lefevre Leaves As Facebook Watch Ends Originals; 'Red Table Talk' Being Shopped|url=https://deadline.com/2023/04/red-table-talk-canceled-mina-lefevre-exits-facebook-watch-ends-originals-meta-1235337005/|website=Deadline Hollywood|date=April 26, 2022|access-date=May 9, 2022}}

Exclusive international distribution

{{anchor|Exclusive_US_distribution_shows}}

These television shows, even though Facebook lists them as Facebook Watch originals, are shows that have been aired in different countries, and Facebook has bought exclusive distribution rights to stream them in other various countries. They may be available on Facebook Watch in their home territory and other markets where Facebook Watch does not have the first run license, without the Facebook Watch Original label, some time after their first-run airing on their original broadcaster.
