"Hollywood is Truly Freaked Out." Inside the Netflix/WBD Deal with Lucas Shaw
Manage episode 522883570 series 121009
In 2013, Netflix wanted to become HBO. Now Netflix is going to buy HBO along with the Warner Bros. Studio, in a blockbuster $83 billion deal.
Wowza. Here to talk me through this is Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw, who has been deep in the deal talks for weeks. Discussed in this one:
*How did Netflix maneuver its way into a deal everyone thought Paramount would win?
*Will this deal actually get past Donald Trump and U.S. regulators?
*What does this deal — a kind of deal Netflix has never, ever made in the past — tell us about Netflix today?
*What happens to my favorite HBO shows?
