COS COB, Conn., Nov. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (“CSS
Entertainment”) (Nasdaq: CSSE), a growing media company building online video-on-demand (“VOD”) networks that provides positive and
entertaining video content for all screens, today announced that the Boniuk Foundation will sponsor a fourth season of its series
Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Hidden Heroes.
Each episode of Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Hidden Heroes reveals the widespread goodwill in the world
by showing heroes in action as they demonstrate acts of kindness, compassion, and commitment to others. Highlighted by funny,
light-hearted moments, the series shines a bright light on everyday people who selflessly share their positive attitudes towards
society with others by doing good deeds.
“We are excited to have started production of a fourth season of this series,” said William J. Rouhana, chairman
and chief executive officer. “We believe it is important to continue to highlight individuals making a positive impact in our
world.”
Production of the fourth season will be completed in 2018 with the series being set to air in 2019. “The fourth
season will consist of 12 original episodes and three ‘best-of’ episodes each 30 minutes in length,” noted Rouhana. “This brings us
to a total of 47 out of the 60 half-hour equivalents of TV episodes and short-form videos that we expect to produce or deliver this
year.”
The series is sponsored by The Boniuk Foundation, a non-profit organization advocating for the values of tolerance, respect, and
compassion. The Boniuk Foundation sponsored the previous three seasons of the series.
