What will be the impact of the Netflix Warner Bros deal on HBO and HBO Max originals?
For now and until the deal closes in mid 2027 nothing will change, afterwards you can expect HBO Max to be phased out and all its content arriving on Netflix. As for HBO producing content we don’t know to which extent Netflix will want to take control of the studio and we’ll not find out until 2028. More on reddit.com

Netflix to buy Warner Bros – but what does that mean for film and TV? | The Independent

Two days later, Gadd might have been surprised to discover Netflix might be releasing his follow-up after all. HBO Max will continue to operate as it is, with the platform’s UK premiere proceeding as planned in March 2026.

r/amex on Reddit: Netflix buys HBO Max, what does it mean for us?
4 weeks ago -

Netflix announced the purchase of WB today, which means it will own HBO Max once the deal closes (regulators might give them trouble).

so what does this mean for us? Are we more likely to lose HBO from the Disney bundle (and our credit), or more likely to have Netflix strike a deal with Amex? Fear this means HBO won’t be on our credit anymore when the Platinum (and Blue) update next.

Would be nice to get a Netflix credit though.
