The bidding war is over, and Netflix has been declared the winner.
After flirting with Paramount Skydance and Comcast, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has decided to sell its streaming and movie studios business to Netflix. If approved, the deal is set to overturn the media landscape and create ripples that will affect Hollywood for years.
Netflix will pay an equity value of $72 billion, or an approximate total enterprise value of $82.7 billion, for Warner Bros. All of WBD has a $60 billion market value, NBC News notes.

December on HBO Max will see its fair share of holiday content, but as far as new shows and movies are concerned, we’re venturing deep into documentary territory with a plethora of music stories about Paul Anka, Wizkid, Jeff Buckley, and Counting Crows. We’ll also see the debut of three highly anticipated, long-awaited movie sequels, along with the first comedy special from SNL star Sarah Sherman, and a new Hard Knocks series focused on the NFC East.
A bundle deal is apparently on the cards which could save you money as Netflix eyes Warner Bros Discovery acquisition.

Streaming services have a way of reviving love for old shows, and HBO Max is looking to entice old and new fans with this month’s addition of Mad Men. Instead, viewers have been laughing at the problems with the show’s 4K premiere.
Mad Men ran on the AMC channel for seven seasons from 2007 to 2015. The show had a vintage aesthetic, depicting the 1960s advertising industry in New York City.
Last month, HBO Max announced it would modernize the show by debuting a 4K version. The show originally aired in SD and HD resolutions and had not been previously made available in 4K through other means, such as Blu-ray.

HBO Max has announced what’s leaving their platform in December, and while I’m sad to see some titles go, there’s still plenty of time to watch these gems while you still can. From reality TV shows and original documentaries to film franchises like Superman, along with a lot of Justice Leaguecontent, there’s lots to keep you busy. Oh, and don't miss out on seeing Christmas classics like Elf and A Christmas Story before they’re gone!
