Starting in 2011, Yahoo.com began offering original content through its platform Yahoo! Screen.

By Spring 2015, Yahoo! broadened its original content portfolio by launching its initial longform scripted series, featuring episodes with durations ranging from 20 to 30 minutes. Notable titles included Sin City Saints, Other Space, and the sixth installment of NBC's Community.

On January 4, 2016, following a $42 million impairment recorded in Q3 2015 due to underwhelming results from its trio of original series, Yahoo! Screen was terminated. The original video productions were subsequently redistributed across pertinent Yahoo portals, with TV series categorized under an "originals" section within Yahoo! TV.

Cancelled original programming

After the shutdown of Yahoo! Screen, multiple projects that were in development were discontinued. One such project was the comedy series The Pursuit, created by Scott Stuber and Beth McCarthy-Miller, which focused on a group of friends in their late twenties as they dealt with themes of success, romance, wealth, and fulfillment in Manhattan.

Before the 2015 television season, Yahoo! engaged in discussions with 20th Century Fox Television to potentially bring back the cancelled comedy Enlisted for a second season; however, the plan was eventually abandoned due to financial limitations.
