Facebook to invest millions in producing its own TV shows

There's no point building a TV app if you don't have the content to put on it. But following the launch of its TV app, Facebook is investing in the development of video content, according to the Wall Street Journal.

A report in the Journal claims the company has met Hollywood talent agencies, with the aim of producing TV programmes for people aged between 17 to 30.

Facebook has already lined up a game show called "Last State Standing" and a relationship drama called "Strangers", at a cost of around $3m per episode.
