ABC is boosting its digital-exclusive originals lineup with four new short-form series available for free on its apps and website, including a sitcom from YouTube actress-comedian Lisa Schwartz.

The four new ABCd originals — arriving before the fall TV season kicks in — come after the network relaunched its free streaming services in July. That was anchored by seven short-form series, available only online, including shows starring Ty Burrell and Iliza Shlesinger. In addition, ABC added full seasons of 38 older shows from its library like “Ugly Betty,” “Sports Night” and “My So-Called Life.”

ABC’s goal: to grab more ad bucks from digital video by pitching programming to millennial audiences, as viewing in the demo continues to grow on mobile and online platforms (and decline on traditional TV).
