Netflix–Warner Bros Discovery: What changes in the deal to prevent Paramount

Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery are in negotiations for a potential merger, aiming to counter the competitive bid from Paramount Skydance. Netflix is adjusting its offer, which amounts to $83 billion, to speed up the process and secure the deal. The prospect of the merger has sparked reactions in the US, with concerns about the creation of an overly concentrated group that would control half of the streaming market. Netflix is interested in Warner Bros Discovery's iconic assets, such as Warner Bros studios and HBO. Paramount, for its part, has submitted a competing bid of $108.4 billion, but Warner Bros Discovery has deemed it insufficient and risky.
