Facebook Could Add Original Shows In June

We're only a month away from Facebook introducing some original shows, reports Business Insider. The social network is planning to launch a set of "TV-like shows" sometime in June. Around two dozen shows are already close to launching and more are expected to arrive in the future.

Among the original series are long episode shows (TV-like full-length content) along with shorter 5-10 minute content. The shorter shows will be updated more often and they may be similar to the original content Snapchat is adding.

By introducing original content, something YouTube and Netflix have also heavily pursued, Facebook hopes to increase user engagement.
