Netflix Just Took Another Major Step Toward Buying Warner Bros.

by

Although some reports say otherwise, Netflix is seriously considering buying one of the biggest and most famous movie studios ever. Warner Bros. had a very successful year at the movie theaters and is now looking to sell, and Netflix is interested in making a deal.

Netflix is now considering a bid to buy Warner Bros., according to Reuters. They’ve hired Moelis & Co. to help put together an offer, putting them in competition with Paramount, which is currently seen as the leading contender. This is a shift from Netflix’s previous statements that they weren’t interested in acquiring Warner Bros. Moelis & Co. also recently advised Skydance Media in its merger with Paramount Global, and Paramount is looking to expand its content library. While Netflix hasn’t formally submitted a bid yet, reports suggest one is coming soon.

In addition to needing to offer a competitive price for Warner Bros. Discovery, Netflix faces another hurdle: President Trump and his administration appear to favor Paramount. According to the New York Post, a Trump official indicated that the ownership of Warner Bros. Discovery is a key concern for the administration, and the board should consider which potential buyer has a proven track record of completing deals – a clear signal pointing towards the owners of Paramount-Skydance, the Ellisons. This suggests Trump is likely to approve the Paramount-Skydance merger over other offers, such as Netflix, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
