Joe Biden’s economy is hitting the fast-food industry hard.
More and more fast-food giants are branching out to find new and innovative ways to stay afloat.
And reality TV came home to roost after Chick-fil-A took one huge leap of faith.
According to an exclusive report in Deadline, Chick-fil-A is aggressively making a move into the entertainment arena.
Chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, and a family-friendly show
According to the report, the faith-based chicken fast-food giant has plans to launch original programming for its own streaming platform.
Deadline reported that “the fast-food firm 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. It is also in talks to license and acquire content.”
According to Deadline, this also includes “a family-friendly game show from Glassman Media, the company behind NBC’s The Wall, and Michael Sugar’s Sugar23, which is behind series such as Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why.”
Reportedly, this show has been given a ten-episode order.
Deadline further reported that “budgets on the unscripted side are believed to be in the range of $400,000 per half-hour. Sources told us the idea is to launch later this year and there’s also talk of scripted projects and animation.”
Leading the Chick-fil-A programming effort is Brian Gibson, who has worked on History’s Top Gear remake and Fox’s adaptation of The X Factor.
According to Deadline, Gibson has already been in talks with various producers.
Chick-fil-A is known for its fried chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, shakes, impeccable customer service, and the strong Christian faith of its founders.
They have become the latest company outside of the entertainment industry to move into making its own original programming.
Chick-fil-A joins companies like Lyft, which has produced shows such as Lucky Lyft, a game show hosted by Bob The Drag Queen, and Airbnb, which previously produced the documentary Gay Chorus Deep South that aired on MTV.
Don’t look for drag queens at the chicken king
Chick-fil-A, which currently operates more than 3,000 restaurants across the United States, has previously produced content for its own site.
Among their productions is Stories of Evergreen Hills, a series of short, animated, family-friendly films.
While companies like Lyft and Airbnb are focusing on woke, LGBTQ content to cater to the radical leftist crowd, Chick-fil-A almost certainly will not be caving in to the woke mob in their programming.
The fast-food giant has also diversified into other non-food areas, such as making children’s puzzles and games.
These activities are part of its Pennycake brand.
The family-friendly chicken purveyor is adding to their portfolio, and many industry insiders and Chick-fil-A customers are excited.
One source told Deadline that this is “a positive move for the reality TV industry, which has been struggling in recent years.”
Another source added that it was “a good opportunity, comparing it to branded content.”
And one Chick-fil-A customer said, “My family loves Chick-fil-A and we are expecting big things out of this new arena. We are thrilled they will be providing family-friendly content in these troubled times.”
