History
Fandom Entertainment has a complicated history. Since 2009, it has operated under three different names. Each incarnation of the channel has targeted a slightly different audience and produced different shows, however the channel has always been dedicated to movies, TV, and pop culture.

Clevver Movies
Fandom Entertainment was original called Clevver Movies. The channel was originally created on March 5, 2009 and was a sister channel to several other Clevver Media channels such as Clevver TV, Clevver Style and Clevver News. Clevver Media was acquired by Alloy Media in 2012. Allow Media later merged with Break Media to become Defy Media.

Screen Junkies News
Clevver Movies was rebraded as Screen Junkies News in September 2016. At the time, both Clevver and Screen Junkies were owned by the same parent company, Defy Media. All the old Clevver content remains up on the channel. Many Clevver videos are still the channel's highest-viewed videos. In its early days, Screen Junkies News covered multiple entertainment news per day in shorter videos (ranging anywhere from 2 -20 minutes) dedicated to discussing one single subject. During this time, the channel also produced movie reviews, conventional trailer reaction videos, Easter egg breakdowns, filmmaker interviews, and did some TV show recaps (eg, Riverdale). In mid-2017, Screen Junkies News shifted towards one longer video (30 min) per day, in which a panel of hosts discussed multiple news stories.

Fandom Entertainment
In July 2018, Screen Junkies News was bought by fan encyclopedia company FANDOM. FANDOM's long term business plan involves a pivot to video content. There were no major changes to the channe;s shows immediately following the acquisition, though some Screen Junkies News videos (such as junket interviews) were rebranded with FANDOM logos and embedded on fan wikis. The channel continued producing its core shows: Screen Junkies Universe, Charting With Dan, Honest Trailers Commentaries, and Movie Reviews.

In April 2019, the channel was rebranded as Fandom Entertainment. Around this time, the channel introcuded multiple new show formats: The Evolution Of, Panel to Screen, Fandom Uncovered.
