Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and now Chick-Fil-A? It looks like the popular chicken fast-food restaurant is getting into the streaming TV business.
It looks like the streaming platform Chick-Fil-A plans to launch by the end of 2024 and will produce game shows, reality TV shows, and various family-friendly content.
Chick-Fil-A joins forces with major media company
If you’re expecting Chicken Little or poultry, you’re wrong. Expect more, because the chicken chain is teaming up with some big names.
According to the Daily Beast, Chick-Fil-A has partnered with Glassman Media, the studio behind Dax Shepard and Justin Timberlake’s show “Spin the Wheel” on Fox and NBC’s “The Wall,” to produce a network-quality game show.

Glassman may also be working with Segar 23, the studio behind “True Detective” and “13 Reasons Why.”
Chick-Fil-A – Big Budget
The report further states that Chick-Fil-A is budgeting about $400,000 for each 30-minute unscripted show and is planning 10 shows initially.
Animation and scripted projects, which tend to require higher budgets, can be added at a later date.
Not the first fast-food chain to enter the television business
Believe it or not, Chick-Fil-A isn’t the first fast-food joint to get into the television business. Daily Beast reminds us that McDonald’s got into the business in the 1960s, producing 246 episodes and several spin-off movies for its McDonaldland television series.
Stay tuned. The plot chickens.
