Frame 1171276607

Netflix has informed its subscribers that there will be no immediate changes to their service following the company’s recent agreement to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.

In a letter sent to customers, Netflix explained that the acquisition, which includes Warner Bros. film and television studios, HBO Max, and HBO, will bring together popular franchises such as Harry Potter, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Casablanca, Game of Thrones, and the DC Universe with Netflix originals like Stranger Things, Wednesday, Squid Game, Bridgerton, and KPop Demon Hunters.

The company emphasized, “Nothing is changing today.” Both streaming platforms will continue to operate separately for now. Netflix noted that several steps remain before the deal is finalized, including regulatory and shareholder approvals.

Subscribers were assured they would be updated as more information becomes available and were encouraged to continue enjoying their current membership plans without interruption.

Netflix also stated its intention to maintain Warner Bros. current operations, including theatrical film releases. During a global town hall, Warner Bros. Discovery staff were told that HBO Max will remain in place. Ted Sarandos, speaking to investors, highlighted that combining the two companies would create a stronger organization and offer a broader range of content to consumers.

Netflix secured the acquisition with a bid of $27.75 per share for the studio and streaming assets. However, the deal has already drawn concerns from several industry groups, including the Producers Guild of America, SAG-AFTRA, Teamsters, and the Writers Guild of America (WGA).
