Chick-fil-A is jumping into the world of streaming, with the fast-food restaurant planning to launch its entertainment service in the future according to Deadline's latest report. It was revealed by the publication that anonymous sources claimed that Chick-fil-A already has made its move towards formulating its content, centering on original shows.
According to Deadline, Chick-fil-A is already in talks to acquire and license content with "major production companies," and is focusing on family-friendly content.
Currently, Chick-fil-A is already planning to license a "family-friendly-game show" that airs on NBC and is hosted by Chris Hardwick, produced by a company that previously worked on The Wall.
Chick-fil-A is Investing As Much as $400,000 for its Shows
Furthermore, Chick-fil-A is reportedly putting in massive investments in the shows coming to its platform, with a budget of as much as $400,000 for a half-hour show with unscripted content, according to ArsTechnica. Chick-fil-A has also purchased 10 episodes of an unnamed show by the production company, Sugar23.
According to Deadline, Chick-fil-A has declined to comment on these latest rumors about their streaming plans.
The Growing Streaming Industry in the World
Streaming is now the staple entertainment experience in the world, apart from social media platforms, which focus on OTT platforms that offer movies and series, as well as live TV from select providers. Netflix remains the most popular, and it is also known for having the most subscribers in the world-with the platform notable for its massive content offers.
One of the platforms closing into Netflix's rank is Amazon's Prime Video, with the platform facing notorious issues because of its newfound focus on ads, making it the basic tier available for users.
Another rival in the top streaming rankings is Disney+ from The Walt Disney Company, and it is famous for its wide range of original content, as well as niche ones like Marvel, Star Wars, Nat Geo, and more.
There is tight competition among the streaming platforms in the world, and it is a challenge to avail of a service now as these have separate subscriptions that would add up to a user's expenses per month. That being said, Chick-fil-A is now rumored for its streaming platform plans, centering on family-centric original shows, with massive budgets already allotted by the fast-food chain.
