Step aside, Netflix — a new player is entering the streaming game, and it comes with a side of waffle fries. American fast-food chain Chick-Fil-A is stepping into the streaming world, reportedly set to launch its very own broadcasting platform with original content. The chain is making plans to compete with major broadcasting platforms like HBO to provide “family friendly” shows, as reported by Deadline on August 21, 2024.
As per the outlet, Chick-Fil-A is cooking up a slew of original content, working alongside several production companies with a focus on making unscripted series that are appropriate for all audiences. That’s not all; the company is also working to license existing content, such as a game show from Glassman Media and Sugar23, the studio behind 13 Reasons Why.

’ Chick-Fil-A’s “family friendly” attitude toward its upcoming series isn’t anything new for the business. Much of its values stem from the Christian beliefs of its founder, S. Truett Cathy, who was a Southern Baptist.
It’s common knowledge in the US that the chain is closed on Sundays, as well as major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Chick-Fil-A is just the latest major company to break.
