Brat TV is an American digital production company that is available on YouTube. Founded in 2017, the network features original shows and is geared toward Generation Z audiences.

Brat TV's flagship web series, Chicken Girls, spawned a subsequent film entitled Chicken Girls: The Movie. Brat has also produced shows featuring teenage stars from Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, such as Jules LeBlanc, Anna Cathcart, Francesca Capaldi, and Emily Skinner.

History

[edit]

Brat was launched in 2017 by television writer Rob Fishman and Darren Lachtman as an online network featuring scripted content, streaming for free on YouTube.[1][2] The company originally received $2.5 million in seed funding.[1] Fishman saw a gap in the online market for high-quality teenage shows available for free on digital platforms.[3] Fishman noted how the social media celebrities all brought their own established audiences to Brat's shows, describing them as "under-leveraged media property".[3][1] The name of the network was inspired by the "Brat Pack" movies of the 1980s.[3]

On September 5, 2017, Brat premiered Chicken Girls, which is Brat's longest-running series.[citation needed]

The most viewed episode on Brat is the ninth episode of season one of Mani, titled "I'm the Captain Now". It stands at over 22 million views as of December 30, 2023. The episode originally premiered on December 6, 2017.[citation needed]

In addition to teenage internet celebrities, Brat's content would also star people who have worked with Disney Channel and Nickelodeon.[citation needed]

In 2018, Brat premiered 3 shows that were different than its usual single-camera shows: Brat Chat which was a talk show hosted by Indiana Massara and Darius Marcell that premiered in June, The Talent Show[4] which was a competition series to find Brat's next star (hosted by Casey Simpson and judged by Sofie Dossi, Bryce Xavier, and Jordyn Jones) that was released in August, and Hotel Du Loone which was a multi-cam sitcom was released in June.[5] A film based on Chicken Girls was released in 2018 as part of a deal with Studio L, a digital content division of Lionsgate.[2][6] Before the film's release, Brat and Lionsgate amicably canceled their partnership.[7]

Chicken Girls: The Movie was released on June 29, 2018 and became Brat's most popular project of all time, with over 40 million views as of December 30, 2023.[8]

In December 2018, Brat premiered the Brat Holiday Spectacular starring Mackenzie Ziegler, Jules LeBlanc, Indiana Massara, Sofie Dossi, Aliyah Moulden, Emily Skinner, and Michelle Johnson.[9]

In March 2019, Brat premiered Spring Breakaway starring Jules LeBlanc, Lilia Buckingham, and Anna Cathcart, William Frankline-Miller, Kianna Naomi, David Banks, Claire Montgomery, Allen Perada and Colleen Elizabeth Miller.[10]

In August 2019, Brat premiered Intern-in-Chief, which featured Jules LeBlanc, Riley Lewis, Indiana Massara, Aliyah Moulden, and Kiki Haynes.[11]

In January 11, 2024, Brat acquired Horror website Crypt TV.[12]
