Bentkey is a subscription video service for children's programming by The Daily Wire, an American conservative media company. The service was launched in October 2023. It was created for conservative parents who did not want their children to grow up with media that taught "woke" ideologies.[1]
The service was originally announced in March 2022 by The Daily Wire as a children's production unit called Daily Wire Kids or DW Kids for short.[2][3] It was later rebranded as "Bentkey".[4]
Its original programming includes Chip Chilla (a cartoon starring comedian Rob Schneider that was described as imitative of Bluey),[5] Gus Plus Us, Kid Explorer, Kid Fit Go!, and A Wonderful Day with Mabel Maclay.[5] Bentkey is producing Snow White and the Evil Queen, an adaptation of "Snow White" starring actress and conservative YouTube personality Brett Cooper for release in 2024.[6]
