FX has been counting the number of scripted shows each year, and found that this year’s 409 figure is nearly double the 211 scripted TV shows from 2009. It’s also a jump from the 376 scripted shows airing last year. "This was the third consecutive year that scripted series count has grown across each distribution platform—broadcast, basic and pay cable, streaming—led by significant gains in basic cable and digital services,” says FX research chief Julie Piepenkotter. "This statistic is staggering and almost unimaginable from where they were a decade ago."
