I’ve seen this song and dance before. Buy and pick apart the pieces. WB is gonna kill HBO isn’t it.

I was gonna say, I'm pretty clueless...
Does this mean HBO can't/won't carry these IP for the foreseeable future because they're now on Netflix?

They trying to give me more reasons to cancel?

[a_files06]

No. The deal is that they will share the show with Netflix paying to co-stream it. Just at a lesser price since its not exclusive.

Paramount has the same deal with Netflix regarding their content

glad more people will have access to this and other hbo series, but damn, zaslav really said fuck hbo in particular, lol. diluted in months that ~prestige television brand they've been building for, what, 25+ years?

Booo @ Netflix getting anything because I want to delete it. But, also yay for this because I never got to finish watching the last season of Insecure.

I hope the show gets a big popularity boost! It deserves it

We don’t talk about season 5

Finally that means streaming wars are over and netflix can have everything and I can stop pirating.
