In the report, Chick-Fil-A has been “working with a number of major production companies, including some of the studios, to create family-friendly shows, particularly in the unscripted space.”
They are also looking to license and acquire content for the streamer.
Among the first of the original programs include a game show from Glassman Media and Sugar23, which was given a ten-episode order. Glassman Media is behind NBC’s The Wall, while Sugar23 produced 13 Reasons Why.
Deadline reports the budget for unscripted programming is at $400,000 per half hour. The fast food chain is looking to launch later this year, with scripted and animation projects also in the works.
Producer Brian Gibson is reportedly leading programming and has been in talks with various producers. He has worked on shows such as Top Gear USA and the US adaptation of The X Factor.
