Netflix Set To Buy Warner Bros HBO:
A massive deal in the entertainment industry! On December 5, 2025, Netflix confirmed that it will acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s film and television studios along with its streaming business — including HBO and HBO Max — in a deal valued at US$72 billion.
Under the agreement, shareholders of Warner Bros. Discovery will receive US$27.75 per share, comprised of a mix of cash and Netflix stock. The full enterprise value of the acquisition, factoring in debt, is approximately US$82.7 billion. Now that's a whole lotta bucks!
The acquisition brings to Netflix one of Hollywood’s most prized content vaults. Through Warner Bros., it gains access to iconic franchises and studios — from blockbuster films and beloved library titles to HBO originals — instantly expanding Netflix’s content breadth and legacy slate.

Netflix’s leadership framed the deal as a move to “unite Warner Bros.’ storied library with Netflix’s global streaming platform,” promising to maintain Warner Bros.’ operations, including theatrical releases , signaling that the studio’s film-release business will continue alongside streaming.
But the acquisition is far from a done deal. Trade note that this consolidation will “reshape Hollywood,” potentially triggering intense regulatory and antitrust scrutiny, especially in the U.S. and Europe. Moreover, the deal follows a heated bidding war involving major contenders like Paramount Skydance and Comcast — underscoring the value placed on Warner Bros.’ content libraries. Many media reports are suggesting that Netflix has almost won the bid.
If regulators approve, the deal would mark one of the biggest media-industry shakeups in modern times, redefining the contours of content ownership and distribution as streaming platforms consolidate power. Let's see what happens in the next few days and how the deal shapes up.
