In 2014, SBE expanded its in-house digital team to focus on making more online content for their network partners.[19] Beginning in March 2017, the brothers partnered with Chase Bank for a series of commercials on lending options for homeowners.[20] The 2017 web series Wedding Crafts with Linda starred Drew and his fiancée, Linda Phan, as they demonstrate do-it-yourself wedding-themed crafts, including party menus, cocktails, rehearsal dinner invitations, table centerpieces, and wedding favors.[21] The 11-part series began on November 15, 2017 and was featured on HGTV's social media accounts.[21] The program Drew and Linda Say I Do, will chronicle the couple's week-long wedding festivities in the Italian countryside and air on TLC.[22] They've also produced pilots for two reality shows, The Meat Boss and "Warming Up with Erin Heatherton."

The brothers are currently developing a screenplay written by their father James, called High September, about a cowboy who wrongly served a 30-year sentence, only to come out and be abandoned by his family.[23] Jonathan has written a documentary series about renewable energy.[24] Together, the brothers have written two screenplays, one about a lonely "hook up" artist, and the other about "a band of brothers" from a rural town who have wholesome values.[24] With offices in both the US and Canada, Scott Brothers Entertainment is currently in production on two original series for Scripps Networks Interactive, as well as other projects.[25]
