Netflix Wins Warner Bros Deal

Today we are breaking down the blockbuster move that could reshape Hollywood and the streaming wars: Netflix has agreed to acquire Warner Bros Discovery in a cash and stock deal valued at 72 billion dollars for the equity, and more than 82 billion dollars including debt. That gives Netflix control of Warner’s iconic franchises, including DC, Harry Potter and HBO’s prestige series, on top of its own hits like Stranger Things and Squid Game. This would push Netflix’s combined footprint to more than 420 million streaming subscribers worldwide, far ahead of any rival.
