Chick-fil-A Is Launching a Streaming Service. Yes, You Read That Right

variety.com:

Chick-fil-A — yes, that Chick-fil-A — is looking to launch a streaming platform. The fast food chain has been working with Hollywood production companies and studios to create family-friendly, mostly unscripted original shows.

The chicken house is also in talks to license and acquire content, according to a source that’s pitched a project. One of such programs 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, of course, known for its fried chicken sandwiches and waffle fries, the company is looking to break into the reality TV business, which has shrunk in the past few years.
