- Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. is a media company specializing in the development, production, and distribution of family-friendly, inspirational, and uplifting video content. Founded in 2008 as a separate entity from the Chicken Soup for the Soul book franchise and headquartered in Cos Cob, Connecticut, the company operates through multiple subsidiaries including Crackle Plus (a free ad-supported streaming service), Screen Media Ventures (film acquisition and distribution), Story Plant Productions (original content creation), and Halcyon Studios (television production). Its core products include original television programming such as lifestyle series Home Made Simple, pet-focused shows like My Pet's Life, original holiday-themed movies, and acquired libraries featuring titles like The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan and other classic film collections. The company distributes content through broadcast syndication, its AVOD platforms including Crackle Plus, FAST (free ad-supported streaming television) channels, and digital transaction platforms, reaching a broad audience across the United States. In recent years, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment has focused on expanding its digital footprint by growing its Crackle Plus streaming service, securing distribution across over 85 platforms with plans to expand to more than 110. The company has strengthened its multi-platform content distribution strategy through agreements with major digital platform providers such as Fubo, Samsung, and Roku. It also acquired the film and television catalog of Sonar Entertainment in 2021, which added significant classic content, including the North American rights to the Laurel & Hardy and Our Gang libraries. However, in 2024, the company faced significant financial challenges, reporting a substantial loss of $636.6 million for 2023, and ultimately filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June 2024. Its financial difficulties culminated in a conversion to Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation in July 2024, leading to the shutdown of key subsidiaries including Crackle, Popcornflix, Redbox, and Screen Media, along with layoffs and permanent closure of Redbox kiosks. The company historically operates in the media production and streaming industries, targeting family-oriented and inspirational content viewers across North America. Its business model combines advertising revenue, content licensing, and digital distribution income with strategic emphasis on free ad-supported streaming channels, a sector experiencing growth alongside consumer trends favoring subscription-free content. Despite its operational setbacks in 2024 and 2025, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment distinguished itself by leveraging a strong brand ethos centered on hope, comfort, and positivity through its diversified content offerings and digital platform expansions.
