About Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc.
Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (CSSE) was a U.S.-based media and entertainment company listed on the NASDAQ in the United States. The business was built around ad-supported video and streaming, with a strategy focused on monetizing audiences through AVOD (advertising-supported video on demand) and FAST (free ad-supported streaming television) formats. Founded in 2016, the company extended the long-standing Chicken Soup for the Soul brand — originally known for books and consumer products — into digital media and video distribution.
Prior to its financial distress, CSSE operated a portfolio of recognizable assets and brands, including Crackle, Redbox, and Chicken Soup for the Soul, alongside production and distribution businesses such as Screen Media, Halcyon Studios, Landmark Studio Group, and related subsidiaries. This gave the company a mixed profile spanning content production, film and TV distribution, advertising, and consumer entertainment services. In practice, CSSE was positioned as a diversified ad-supported media platform rather than a pure subscription-streaming business.

Geographically, the company’s operations were primarily centered in the United States, with exposure to digital platforms, mobile apps, OTT distribution, and North American media monetization. Its headquarters were in Connecticut, and it competed in a crowded landscape against much larger streaming groups, FAST networks, and AVOD specialists with stronger balance sheets, broader content libraries, and greater scale in marketing and technology.
Recent developments were dominated by a severe deterioration in financial performance and liquidity. SEC filings in 2023 already showed substantial losses and explicit warnings about the need for additional financing to continue operations. In 2024, the company entered bankruptcy proceedings, and the process ultimately moved toward Chapter 7 liquidation. For equity investors, CSSE became a case study in the risks of highly leveraged, niche media models that rely on advertising revenue and operate under intense structural competition in the U.S. NASDAQ-listed market.
