Business
Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSSE) operates as an advertising-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) and free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) company that creates, produces, and distributes uplifting video content, including original films, TV series, and acquired libraries focused on inspiration, family-friendly programming, and the human spirit; core offerings encompass platforms such as Crackle, Redbox (including its network of over 36,000 DVD/Blu-ray rental kiosks, TVOD services, and Free Live TV with 145+ FAST channels), Screen Media for film and TV production/distribution, and content like Home Made Simple, My Pet's Life, holiday-themed movies, and The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan library spanning genres such as lifestyle, pet care, and reality series. The company maintains an extensive library exceeding 50,000 titles distributed across multi-platform channels including broadcast syndication, streaming services, transactional VOD, and digital platforms targeting value-conscious consumers in the United States and internationally. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Cos Cob, Connecticut, it functions as a subsidiary of the Chicken Soup for the Soul publishing group. Recent major developments include the 2022 acquisition of Redbox for enhanced scale in AVOD, FAST, TVOD, and physical rentals with over 40 million loyalty members and expected revenue tripling to $500 million annually, followed by a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in June 2024 amid financial challenges to restructure operations, with its common stock now trading over-the-counter as CSSEQ.
