Netflix is set to acquire Warner Bros., along with its film and television studios HBO Max and HBO. With a definitive agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., the transaction will close sometime after Q3 2026.
This agreement aims to combine Netflix’s streaming services with Warner Bros.’ legacy of world-class storytelling. The transaction will shift beloved franchises, shows, and movies to Netflix’s extensive portfolio, including The Big Bang Theory, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, The Wizard of Oz, and the DC Universe.
With the merger, consumers can expect new experiences and changes within the streaming service. By incorporating HBO and HBO Max programming, Netflix members will have more options and access to content. The acquisition will lead the company to grow investment in creating original content as well as finding opportunities to tell new stories by working with beloved intellectual property. Outside of streaming, the company will continue to maintain Warner Bros.’ current entertainment operations and build on its strengths, including theatrical releases for films.
