Hulu and FX agree to deal for more content on the streaming service

Hulu Plus

If you subscribe to Hulu, and many cord-cutters, along with some who aren't, do, then you know that it has become a haven for content of all sorts. Care to watch last night's episode of The Blacklist? You can do that, along with countless other shows. The service has also been working on original content in an effort to rival the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Now the Twentieth Century Fox TV Distribution for FX network is signing what Hulu terms a "landmark deal" to bring more of its original content to the service.

"We worked closely with our partners at Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution to bring this new kind of agreement to Hulu. The deal not only makes the library of premium, critically acclaimed FX Networks’ Original Series available to stream to our Hulu subscribers, but – through this new, multi-year agreement – Hulu subscribers will also have exclusive access to full seasons of new series from FX Productions (FXP) coming soon to FX and FXX", says Hulu's Craig Erwich.

Shows include Tyrant, The Strain, Married and You're the Worst. Before you go looking for them, the shows aren't there quite yet. But Hulu promises full runs of season one of each will be available in advance of season two, which comes in 2015. Other shows of various genres will be coming as well.

"This new partnership is more than just a licensing agreement with FX Productions. It is a groundbreaking deal that represents our commitment to our partners at FX Networks, as well as our commitment to always providing premium, in demand content to our loyal viewers", Erwich states.

So, prepare for some new content coming your way soon. You can also likely expect more of these deals on the way as online viewing gains momentum.
