What eKKL Entertainment does

eKKL Entertainment is a privately held faith-and-family media company operating a subscription streaming platform launched on July 8, 2026 by Duck Dynasty stars Willie and Korie Robertson in partnership with Pure Flix founder Michael Scott. The platform delivers approximately 350 films and series alongside podcasts (including Unashamed with the Robertson Family, WOAH That's Good Podcast, Duck Call Room, and The Blind Movie Podcast) and daily devotionals, with content distributed across web browsers, native iOS and Android applications, and major connected-TV platforms (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung Smart TV, Android TV). Technical capabilities include offline mobile downloads, multi-device streaming, accessibility features (closed captions, audio descriptions, screen reader compatibility), and tag-based content discovery.

The company monetizes primarily through subscription recurring revenue, with a Monthly Plan at $9.99/month and an Annual Plan at $79.99/year (currently promoted at $59.99), plus a $2 first-month beta offer and a subscriber referral program that issues billing credits. A secondary revenue stream comes from theatrical film distribution, with seven to ten films planned per year and three theatrical releases scheduled for 2026, targeting the mid-budget segment that major studios have largely exited. Ancillary monetization includes the Laasy Perks loyalty program integration and planned expansion into commerce and faith-based travel.

EKKL is structured as EKKL LLC, an Arizona-incorporated entity headquartered in Scottsdale, operating through four wholly-owned subsidiaries (EKKL Streaming LLC, EKKL Loyalty LLC, EKKL Podcasting LLC, and EKKL Studios). The primary customer base comprises faith-based families and individuals seeking curated, family-friendly entertainment, with a secondary B2B channel for churches and ministries using inquiry-based group subscriptions. No institutional funding rounds, revenue figures, or headcount are publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Prime Video: Amazon Prime Video is a broad subscription streaming incumbent bundled with Prime. It competes for general household entertainment spend and offers some faith-adjacent content, though without EKKL's curated, values-aligned curation.
• Netflix: Netflix is the dominant general-purpose subscription streaming incumbent. It competes with EKKL for overall household entertainment time and budgets, and is increasingly producing faith-adjacent original content.
• TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network): TBN is the largest U.S. faith-based broadcasting network, offering streaming extensions of its broadcast programming. It is a broader incumbent that competes for the same faith audience with overlapping content, though it lacks EKKL's subscription and theatrical film model.

Direct peers

• Hallmark+: Hallmark+ is a subscription streaming service centered on family-friendly films and series with theatrical-style original productions. It directly competes for the same family-and-values consumer that EKKL targets, with overlap in wholesome content positioning.
• Dove Channel: Dove Channel is a subscription streaming service dedicated to family- and faith-friendly films and series. It serves the same Dove-approved, wholesome-content niche as EKKL with comparable content curation and value proposition.
• UP Faith & Family: UP Faith & Family is a subscription streaming service offering curated faith-based films and series. It targets the same core audience as EKKL and competes for the same household subscription dollars in the U.S. faith streaming niche.
• Pure Flix / Great American Pure Flix: Pure Flix is the prior venture of EKKL co-founder Michael Scott and remains the most direct comparable as a subscription faith-based streaming service. EKKL is explicitly positioned to replicate and expand on Pure Flix's model with a broader content and community strategy.
• Angel Studios: Angel Studios distributes faith-and-family theatrical films (e.g., Sound of Freedom) and operates a streaming platform for similar content. EKKL targets the same mid-budget, faith-driven theatrical and streaming niche with a comparable 7-10 film annual distribution cadence.
• VidAngel: VidAngel offers family-friendly filtering and streaming of mainstream and faith-friendly films and series. It competes for the same values-driven family audience seeking curated, filtered entertainment experiences.

Emerging players

• Minno: Minno is a faith-based kids streaming platform serving a narrower children-only segment of the same faith-driven family audience. It is an emerging player in an adjacent niche where EKKL's family-focused positioning may overlap.
