YouTube is slowing its roll when it comes to its original scripted programming.

YouTube has put a lot of time and effort on bringing original scripted series to the premium sector of its website, but now it’s looking like it’ll be quite some time before we hear of the video streaming platform taking on any new entities.

Deadline reports that YouTube is slowing down on acquiring new pitches for original series in an effort to turn its efforts over to producing unscripted shows and specials.

The decision comes as parent company, Google, is looking to switch up what content stays behind a paywall and what content doesn’t.

“It is part of a larger business model shift as Google’s video platform, which will be moving all YouTube Originals in front of the paywall to be ad-supported, creating a single Originals slate for both AVOD (ad-supported video on demand) & SVOD (subscription supported video on demand),” writes Deadline.

The move sounds as though it spells out some great news for those who have been curious about checking out critically acclaimed series such as Cobra Kai, or new premieres like Origin.

Though the streaming platform has made some serious waves when it comes to picking up high profile scripts, the fact of the matter is, it’s hard for many consumers to keep shelling out money for additional subscription services on top of already paying for heavy-hitting pioneers like Netflix and Hulu.

It sounds as though moving buzz worthy originals to their AVOD sector is a surefire way to bring in more viewers, which would ultimately result in more ad revenue for the platform.

So what does the shift behind the scenes mean for upcoming projects? While YouTube is reportedly not accepting new pitches, the good news is projects that are already in production likely won’t be affected.

Newer acquisitions such as the upcoming Edge of Seventeen series will still remain in production meaning that YouTube will still be churning out new originals over the course of the next few years.
