Brat TV‘s latest acquisition will give it a foothold in the horror genre. The Gen Z-oriented media company, which produces shows like Chicken Girls and Attaway General, has acquired scare-oriented content producer Crypt TV.
News of the acquisition comes from Deadline, which did not disclose any financial details from the transaction. Brat plans to relaunch Crypt’s digital channels, which will be stocked with original, creator-driven series. Crypt’s founding team will continue to develop projects for film and TV. The spooky media company’s leaders include CEO Jack Davis, gore master Eli Roth, and film producer Darren Brandl.
Brat and Crypt have several similarities. Both digital media companies launched in the mid-2010s, and they have both built franchises out of original shows and characters. Chicken Girls, which began as the story of the titular high school clique, has since evolved into a multimedia enterprise that spans podcasts,...
