Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment to Premiere Original Lifestyle Series At Home with Genevieve June 23 Streaming Free on Crackle

Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (NASDAQ: CSSE) today announced it will premiere the original lifestyle series At Home with Genevieve Friday, June 23 on its free streaming service Crackle. Hosted by expert celebrity interior designer Genevieve Gorder, the series will help viewers organize their homes and offer great entertaining ideas, among other topics. At Home with Genevieve is presented by PetSmart through a branded partnership agreement with the company’s advertising division Crackle Connex.

Genevieve Gorder is the founder and director of the Genevieve Gorder brand, a television host, designer and producer, home product designer, contributing author, and global ambassador for human rights. Since first taking the home design scene by storm over 20 years ago on the hit series Trading Spaces, Genevieve has been featured in dozens of lifestyle shows worldwide and can currently be seen on Netflix, HGTV, Bravo, TLC, Amazon, and as a regular contributor on The Rachael Ray Show. A two-time Emmy nominee and regular design host at the White House, Genevieve has built multiple lifestyle collections for the home, including rugs, textiles, wallpaper, stationery, jewelry, and a full line of furniture and decor.

At Home with Genevieve is filled with many of the biggest names in food, fashion, and fun. Long-time friends Stacy London and Paige Davis – from the hit TLC series What Not to Wear and Trading Spaces – will reunite with Genevieve for the first time. In addition, food influencer Frankie Gaw will show viewers how to make authentic Korean dumplings, mixologist Maximo Xtravaganza will demonstrate the hottest new drinks, and Gislaine Edwards – a cleaning expert – will teach viewers how to get their house in order just in time for the summer party season. Other guests will tackle subjects from home decor to fashion makeovers and everything in between.

At Home with Genevieve is the latest branded content series developed with PetSmart through the Crackle Connex, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment’s advertising division. The two companies collaborated last year to create the popular Pet Caves series, which can be streamed on Crackle for free. The branded integrations in the series include organic product placement of PetSmart’s Nourish pet food products, retail location showcases, and other ways consumers can use PetSmart as a resource for their homes.

“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with PetSmart again to bring the powerful series At Home with Genevieve to our viewers,” said Michele Fino, Head of Branded Entertainment for Crackle Connex. “Watching the magic unfold between Genevieve and the PetSmart Kitchen team will be exciting. Viewers are in for a treat when the series debuts later this month.”

Genevieve Gorder commented: “I am so proud of this show. I’ve gotten to a place where I can finally flex ALL my muscles in home and have the opportunity to invite incredible thinkers, doers and makers from every walk of life. Inclusive and ridiculously fun, At Home with Genevieve is truly special, and I hope everyone feels that when they watch it.”
