CSSE operates VoD platforms and owns Crackle Plus, which owns and operates a variety of ad-supported and subscription-based VoD services including Crackle, Popcornflix, Popcornflix Kids, Truli, Pivotshare, Españolflix and FrightPix.

Keshet’s new platform is scheduled to roll out during 2022.

“We have watched Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment systematically build its AVoD service in the US and we reached out to it as we are planning our VoD service,” said Avi Nir, CEO of Keshet Broadcasting. “Its extensive film and television library and expertise in the VoD space made it the perfect partner for us.

“We look forward to building a major VoD service in Israel with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment’s help.”
