== Programming ==
Wowow mostly rebroadcasts movies, but is also well known for showing (and even co-producing and/or assisting in the production of) original [[anime]] series such as ''[[The Big O]]'', ''[[Brain Powerd]]'', [[Overman King Gainer]], ''[[Carried by the Wind: Tsukikage Ran]]'', ''[[Trinity Blood]]'', ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' (the complete uncut version), ''[[Ghost Hound]]'', ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'', ''[[Ergo Proxy]]'', ''[[X/1999]]'', ''[[SHUFFLE!]]'', ''[[Paranoia Agent]]'', ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'', ''[[Le Chevalier d'Eon]]'', ''[[Shigurui]],'' ''[[Berserk (2016 TV series)|Berserk]]'', as well as the ''[[Anime Complex]]'' block. Due to the looser broadcast standards for satellite television in Japan, Wowow has become a primary means of widespread distribution for anime with themes or subject matter that regular broadcast networks cannot show. Several anime studios have partnership deals for distributing their more mature series, with the famed studio [[Madhouse, Inc.|Madhouse]] among them.

Wowow also broadcasts [[Japanese language|Japanese]]-dubbed [[United States|American]] [[television series]] such as ''[[Friends]]'', ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]'', ''[[Sex and the City]]'', ''[[The Sopranos]]'', ''[[Cold Case (TV series)|Cold Case]]'', ''[[Grey's Anatomy]]'', ''[[Medium (TV series)|Medium]]'', ''[[The 4400]]'', ''[[Animaniacs]]'', ''[[South Park]]'', and ''[[The Simpsons]]'', among others. Wowow has also screened [[Ultimate Fighting Championship]] events for Japanese audiences, the British comedy sketch show ''[[Little Britain (TV series)|Little Britain]]'', as well as the British drama/action show ''[[Ultimate Force]]'' under the name ''SAS: British Special Forces''.

Wowow began producing original live-action TV series in 2003. The series called "Drama W" includes works such as ''[[Penance (Japanese TV series)|Penance]]'', ''[[xxxHolic (miniseries)|xxxHolic]]'', ''[[Karei-naru Ichizoku|The Grand Family]]'' and ''[[Futagashira]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.wowowplus.jp/dramaw/lineup/|title= 連続ドラマWとは？|access-date= May 1, 2024|work= Wowow}}</ref>
