Chick-fil-A, the popular fast-food chain known for its chicken sandwiches and distinctive dipping sauce, is reportedly expanding into the entertainment industry. According to DailyWire, the company is collaborating with industry leaders to create, license, and acquire family-friendly content for a new streaming network set to launch later this year.
Chick-fil-A has been developing various projects, including a game show in partnership with Sugar23, the production company behind Netflix’s “13 Reasons Why,” and Glassman Media, known for creating “The Wall.” The objective is to produce “family-friendly” content for the upcoming streaming platform, which will feature both animated and scripted series, as reported by Deadline.
This move is not Chick-fil-A’s first foray into entertainment. The Cathy family, owners of Chick-fil-A, manage an independent trust that co-founded Trilith Studios in Atlanta, which collaborates with major entertainment brands like Marvel, according to The Verge.
In addition, Chick-fil-A has previously released a short animated film series on its website called “Stories of Evergreen Hills.” The series follows a young girl named Sam as she discovers how small acts of kindness can bring people together. The company has not yet made any public statements regarding its latest entertainment venture.
