What will be the impact of the Netflix Warner Bros deal on HBO and HBO Max originals?
Netflix buys HBO Max, what does it mean for us?
Netflix has signaled it will keep HBO Max as its own service. Until the acquisition is completed — which could take more than a year, consumers will continue to pay one subscription fee to Netflix and a separate fee to HBO Max.

With the news that Netflix is about to buy Warner Bros for 82 Billion dollars I was wondering how would it impact HBO and HBO Max originals.
Something like Hacks is filming its final season and will have probably ended before the merger is complete. On the other hand how would shows like The Pitt, House of Dragon, The Last of Us, Euphoria, The Chair Company, The White Lotus, I Love L.A., The Rehearsal, Task, Industry etc. would be impacted by the Netflix merger?
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.
