Chick-fil-A Is Making the Jump to Streaming — Find Out What Type of Content to Expect on the New Platform

If you already thought there were a few too many options of streaming services to choose from, think again. Your favorite restaurant chain, Chick-fil-A, has just announced they will be launching their own streaming service, giving Netflix, Apple TV and Hulu a new competitor.
The fast-food company is jumping ship to the entertainment world with hopes of producing family-friendly content, such as a gameshow, which is in talks to be created with Glassman Media, the company behind NBC’s The Wall and Sugar 23 of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why . They have been working with Hollywood production companies, as well as major studios, to push out their own kind of content. The budget for each unscripted half-hour is supposedly $400,000, according to inside sources.
What type of content can users expect to see on the new Chick-fil-A streaming platform?
While there are already dozens of streaming platforms producing all different types of content, you can expect the Chick-fil-A streaming service to put out mostly unscripted original shows. While the family gameshow – which will put out 10 episodes – is the only known project at the time, users can also expect to see a few scripted series as well as some animated shows.
This could be good news for the realm of reality TV, however, which has taken a nosedive recently. It’s unknown if the platform will produce its own reality show about the company, but it isn’t out of the question.
How the internet is feeling about the Chick-fil-A streaming service announcement
While many people love Chick-fil-A for their delicious chicken sandwiches and tasty waffle fries, many weren’t expecting to love them for their streaming content. The internet has had some mixed reviews about the announcement but are not thrilled for the most part.
Let’s be honest—Chick-fil-A isn’t just about the chicken. It's their signature Chick-fil-A Sauce that keeps us all coming back for more. I can’t resist dunking my nuggets into it every time I go. That sweet, tangy, slightly smoky dip is practically magic in a little plastic cup. But guess what? You don’t need to wait […]
Although many people are confused about the chicken company beginning to produce their own shows, it wouldn’t be the first time a non-entertainment company entered the sphere. Companies like Lyft and Airbnb have produced their own television shows, available for streaming.
The home of the iconic chicken sandwich has held the number one spot for nine consecutive years
What are Chick-fil-A’s plans for the streaming platform?
While the company has not actually made any comments about the streaming news, Axios dug up a job posting from late last year, searching for an entertainment producer. This listing gives a bit of insight into Chick-fil-A’s plans for the platform.
The job posting also explains, “ This original programming is intended for Chick-fil-A’s soon-to-be launched PLAY entertainment app and may include scripted podcasts and audio adventures, original animation, reality and game shows, and other live-action scripted or non-scripted programming.”
Chick-fil-A has, however, previously produced content for its website, including a series of short animated films called Stories of Evergreen Hills . The chicken company also created children’s games and puzzles under its pennycake brand.
When to expect the new Chick-fil-A streaming service
Although the announcement is not yet official from Chick-fil-A, the launch is planned for some time later this year. So, get ready to eat — and watch — from your favorite restaurant chain because it is sooner than you think.
