Media executive Courtney “Big Court” Richardson II and Grammy Award-winning artist and actor Ice T have launched the global rollout of OG Network, a new FAST and AVOD streaming platform focused on urban culture, independent storytellers and original programming.
Richardson, founder of the Holdin’ Court Podcast on Revolt TV and an executive with No Limit Forever alongside Master P, serves as founder of the network. Ice T is co-founder. The platform is now available in 186 countries and can be accessed on Roku, iOS, Fire TV, Google Play, Apple TV and Android TV.
OG Network enters a crowded streaming market with a model centered on creator ownership and direct distribution. The platform offers a mix of classic films, contemporary titles, documentaries, unscripted series and creator-led content aimed at reflecting the history and global reach of urban storytelling.
“We built this platform on the belief that independent creators deserve the power to tell their own stories,” Richardson said. “The culture is the driving force behind today’s most impactful content—which is why owning our infrastructure is essential. With OG Network, the culture finally controls the narrative, the distribution, and the future.”
The launch includes a slate of original programming anchored by weekly and feature-length releases.
“Somebody Had To Say It” is a weekly series hosted by Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Richardson, focusing on hip-hop debate and cultural discussion.
“Put The Guns Down – A World Epidemic” is a documentary executive produced and narrated by Ice T that examines gun violence and its effects across communities worldwide.
“My Cherie Amour,” an independent thriller, is set to premiere exclusively on the platform.
The Holdin’ Court Podcast, the celebrity-focused series hosted by Richardson and previously distributed through Revolt TV, will now stream exclusively on OG Network.
Beyond its originals, OG Network features hundreds of titles ranging from hard-to-find films to independent projects that have screened at festivals. The company says it is actively seeking new creators and aims to serve as a distribution home for projects that often struggle to reach global audiences.
Additional information about the platform and submissions is available at theognetwork.net.
