Netflix Reassures Subscribers After Warner Bros. Deal: “Nothing Is Changing Today”
Netflix sent an early morning email to its subscribers about the mega deal that will bring HBO Max into the fold.
As Hollywood grapples with the fallout from the astonishing mega-deal for Warner Bros., Netflix wants its subscribers to know that everything will be OK.
The streaming giant sent an email to subscribers early Saturday morning, “Welcoming Warner Bros. To Netflix.”
The email explained the deal (in simple terms, appropriate for a consumer-facing communication) and linked to an FAQ with details of the transaction. But there was a clear overarching theme to the message: Nothing will change. At least not for a while.
“Nothing is changing today. Both streaming services will continue to operate separately,” the email stated. “We have more steps to complete before the deal is closed, including regulatory and shareholder approvals. You’ll hear from us when we have more to share.”
