Chick-Fil-A\u2019s plans to launch \u201cfamily friendly\u201d streaming platform leave viewers annoyed Unsplash.com: Brad, minimdesigncoStep aside, Netflix \u2014 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 \u201cfamily friendly\u201d 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\u2019s 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. This isn\u2019t the chain\u2019s first foray into the entertainment biz, though. Previously, the company created a series of short, animated films titled \u2018Stories of Evergreen Hills.\u2019 Chick-Fil-A\u2019s \u201cfamily friendly\u201d attitude toward its upcoming series isn\u2019t 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\u2019s 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 into the streaming world. It joins the likes of Lyft and AirBnB, each of which previously made series like game show Lucky Lyft and documentary Gay Chorus Deep South, respectively. Thus far, Chick-Fil-A has yet to offer a public statement regarding this news\u2026 but netizens appear largely baffled and slightly annoyed at this turn of events. \u201cJust put the fries in the bag, bro,\u201d one user wrote, referencing the popular TikTok trend. \u201cAt this point, I\u2019m about to go back to cable,\u201d another said. \u201cWho asked for a Chick-Fil-A streaming platform, bro?\u201d another queried. Several fast-food chains are stepping up their game lately, such as Mcdonald\u2019s, who brought back its beloved collectible cups that are already reselling for hundreds of dollars online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
