Warner Bros. Discovery Rejects Paramount's Higher Bid, Board to Review Against Netflix Deal

Warner Bros. Discovery Rejects Paramount's Higher Bid

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has formally rejected a higher bid from Paramount Skydance, stating that it will evaluate the offer under its existing agreement with Netflix.

The WBD board will consider whether the new proposal is superior to Netflix's current deal. If the board deems the Paramount offer better, Netflix will have four days to enhance its existing bid.

This decision is significant as it could affect the potential merger between Netflix and WBD, which would combine HBO Max and Paramount+ under one roof. Both deals are subject to regulatory approval and have faced antitrust concerns.
