HOOT Original

HOOT is a multi-million dollar streaming platform that has distributed and produced content that has either been produced in-house by HOOT themselves or that they own the production and distribution rights to; these are known as HOOT Originals and are available on the streaming platform in most countries where HOOT enjoys a large presence.

Types of Originals
While HOOT Studios does produce many of its own Originals in-house, there are also cases wherein HOOT has acquired the rights to call multimedia "HOOT Originals", there are four different categories of Originals.


 * HOOT Original Programmes: These are programmes that have been produced and commissioned in-house by HOOT Studios themselves. HOOT owns 100% of the rights to these programmes and are one of HOOT's main Original's. The first HOOT commissioned programme was Broken Down Hard, which began airing on the streaming platform starting May 10, 2015. HOOT currently has 42 commissioned programmes such as Dark Assets, Queens and When Superheroes Fly.
 * HOOT owns international rights: These are programmes in which HOOT exclusively owns international streaming rights to the shows. They may not have been produced by HOOT and may be available in their home territory without HOOT Original branding, however in countries where HOOT owns the streaming rights they are HOOT Originals. In home territories, these shows may be available on different streaming platforms and are not exclusive to HOOT. Examples include Young Justice and Mr. Robot.
 * Co-Production: Much of HOOT's Original catalogue is made up of programmes that they have co-produced with another company but have retained the right to market them as HOOT Originals. HOOT may not own 100% of the rights to these programmes, with the other production company retaining some of the control. Examples of these include Cohon: Legend of the Golden Cities, What is My Life and Gotham City Police.
 * Continuation of a canceled show: These are programmes which have originally been produced, distributed and marketed by other production companies or networks (such as the CW, FOX etc.) but have been canceled for many different reasons. With a strong fanbase, HOOT often may buy and/or acquire the rights to these shows and carry on producing them under their own brand as a HOOT Original.
