It may take many months to resolve all legal issues and attempt to negotiate with regulators.
On December 5, it became known about Netflix's intention to acquire Warner Bros. The deal is valued at $82.7 billion.
The deal includes not only the DC universe, the "Matrix", "Harry Potter", "Game of Thrones" and "Friends" franchises, but also the HBO library, the HBO Max service and the entire Warner Bros. Games gaming division. Thus, Netflix will take over:
- WB Games Montréal (Gotham Knights)
- WB Games Boston (The Lord of the Rings Online)
- TT Games (LEGO-игры)
- NetherRealm (Mortal Kombat, Injustice)
- Avalanche Software (Hogwarts Legacy)
- Rocksteady (Batman: Arkham, Suicide Squad)
There have been no announcements about plans to begin restructuring (mass layoffs) at Netflix.
Netflix and Warner Bros. intend to complete the merger in 2026, but the process may be delayed if the companies fail to reach an agreement with regulators.
