Chick-Fil-A Rumored To Be Launching A Streaming Platform

Rumor has it that fast food chicken purveyor Chick-fil-A will launch a streaming service of unscripted content.

Deadline reported that the popular restaurant chain has been working with major players in the entertainment industry to create, license, and acquire family-friendly content. The outlet’s sources revealed that new projects include a game show from Glassman Media, creator of “The Wall,” and Sugar23, which is known for the Netflix hit series “13 Reasons Why.”

Those sources noted that the projects could launch as early as this year and that there’s also been talk of animation and scripted content. They reported that Brian Gibson of “The X Factor” fame is leading the charge for programming for the as-yet-unnamed streaming platform.

Chick-fil-A has dabbled in entertainment projects in the past. The company created “Stories of Evergreen Hills,” a series of short animated films published on its website. The series “follows a young girl named Sam as she discovers how little acts of kindness can bring people together,” the description says.

While fast food and entertainment may seem like an unlikely pairing, it’s not the first time two seemingly unrelated industries teamed up. The outlet noted that ride-share company Lyft produced an eight-episode game show series called “Lucky Lyft Trivia Show” hosted by Bob the Drag Queen. Also, Airbnb produced the documentary “Gay Chorus Deep South” for MTV in 2019, which was about the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus touring the South.

Retail behemoth Walmart also got into the streaming business, partnering with Paramount+ to give Walmart+ members streaming access to the platform beginning in 2022.

“We know Walmart+ is providing members real value in their every day – from grocery shopping to filling up their tank and more,” senior vice president and general manager Chris Cracchiolo said at the time, explaining the connection. “With the addition of Paramount+, we are demonstrating our unique ability to help members save even more and live better by delivering entertainment for less, too.”

The fast food restaurant’s ties to entertainment are stronger than customers may realize. Chick-fil-A is owned by the Cathy family. According to The Verge, they control an independently managed trust, which helped found Atlanta-based company Trilith Studios, which frequently works with Marvel.

Chick-fil-A has yet to announce or publicly comment on plans for entertainment content.
