The series will explore the “broader zeitgeist of reality television, social media, faith, fundamentalism, patriarchy and power.”
Lauren Andrade and Olivia Crist’s Chick Entertainment is co-producing a recently greenlit Prime Video docuseries about the intersection of so-called reality television, social media, faith, fundamentalism, patriarchy and power.
The still-untitled project comes on the heels of the trial of sex offender Josh Duggar, who was featured in the TLC series 19 Kids and Counting about the daily life of a large family in an Arkansas town. That series was canceled after allegations of sexual misconduct by Duggar and a spinoff titled Counting On was also canceled in 2021 after his arrest for child pornography. He was later convicted on the latter charges and is currently waiting to be sentenced.
The Prime Video series will “expose shocking connections between some of reality television’s large, most famous large families and The Institute in Basic Life Principles, a controversial fundamentalist organization and homeschooling empire,” according to Amazon Studios. The series will feature commentators, writers and social media voices exploring the “broader zeitgeist of reality television, social media, faith, fundamentalism, patriarchy and power.”
Founded by Andrade and Crist in 2017, Chick Entertainment develops and produces films, television and branded content and music videos. The company’s website says it “provides opportunities for underrepresented filmmakers.” Andrade’s production credits the films 2021 Long Weekend and 2020 Swallow, the latter co-produced with Crist and acquired by IFC Films after the drama’s screening at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Currently in production, the new Prime Video series is being produced by The Cinemart and Story Force in addition to Chick Entertainment and Amazon Studios.
The new project adds to the growing list of original docuseries by the streamer, including LulaRich, another Story Force production about the controversial billion-dollar clothing empire LuLaRoe that premiered in September.
The will docuseries will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
