[1] based on the U.S. cable network of the same name, FXX is devoted primarily to scripted comedies for young adults.

In addition, a Canadian version of the FXNOW app, which allows viewers to watch shows from FX and FXX, was launched.

However, the rights to certain other FXX original programming (such as Archer, Cake and shows from the former Animation Domination High-Def block) have been acquired by rival Canadian broadcasters.
