The fast food restaurant Chick-fil-A is looking to launch a streaming platform. The chicken chain has been working with Hollywood production companies and studios to create family-friendly, mostly unscripted original shows. They are also in talks to license and acquire content, according to a source that’s pitched a project.
One program is a game show from Glassman Media (NBC’s The Wall) and Sugar23 (Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why), which has been given a 10-episode order.
The budgets for unscripted are around $400,000 per half-hour, sources indicate. Chick-Fil-A is also considering scripted projects as well as animation. Top Gear and The X Factor alum Brian Gibson is leading the charge on programming.
While Chick-fil-A is known for its chicken sandwiches and waffle fries, the company is looking to break into the reality TV business, which has shrunk in the past few years.
It previously produced a series of short animated films for its site, “Stories of Evergreen Hills,” and launched Pennycake, its own brand of children’s games and puzzles.
It sounds like fans of Kirk and Candace Cameron have some great content in store for them.
