Chick-fil-A to launch streaming service with its own original shows & animations

[Orange]

Chick-fil-A is reportedly flying out of its coop of chicken sandwiches and waffle fries to wing it at… video streaming?! According to Deadline, which cites anonymous sources, the fast-food giant is preparing to launch its own streaming service, packed with original, family-friendly content.

 

The unexpected pivot is said to encompass a variety of wholesome programming, from unscripted shows to game shows, all crafted to fall in line with Chick-fil-A’s family-friendly values. The news outlet hears (from a little birdie, perhaps?) that the chain is teaming up with major production companies to create and license content, with budgets reaching up to US$400,000 per half-hour episode.

 

Among the planned offerings is a family-friendly game show from Glassman Media, the production company behind NBC’s The Wall. Chick-fil-A has also greenlit an all-new, 10-episode series from Sugar23, a production company with experience on platforms like Netflix and Apple TV+. It’s also looking to bring in animated projects.

 

Chick-fil-A plans to roll out the platform later in the year.
