Status: Partially Lost


BratTV, earlier known simply as Brat is a digital network that creates media content, primarily web series and movies, aimed at tweens and teens [1]. Their shows and movies are known for starring popular social media stars[2].

The network publishes its content across several platforms, but is mostly known for its YouTube channel where they post primarily web series, some of their most well-known ones being "Chicken Girls" and "Attaway General". [3].

While most of Brat's shows can be found on their YouTube channel or elsewhere online, a significant amount of their earlier content has been made private or deleted, leading to a lot of these shows' episodes being lost. A few episodes have been reuploaded elsewhere online, and in August 2024 it was discovered that Brat TV had made two of their shows fully available again, as well as the first episode of a third. To date, five of Brat TV's early web series remain partially or fully lost.

Recovery

In November 2020, user Jonah Kaye uploaded three episodes of "Keys", two episodes of "Misshaps" and one episode of "The Pain of Painting" to Vimeo.

In August 2024, Wiki user Urmomsmicrowave discovered that several early episodes had been made available on Brat TV's YouTube channel. Namely, one episode of "Too Cool For School", and all episodes of "Cody & Lexy" and "Keys".
