Netflix In Exclusive Talks For Warner Bros Discovery Acquisition

JAKARTA Netflix is entering the stage of exclusive talks with Warner Bros Discovery. The popular streaming platform plans to acquire Warner Bros. streaming studio and service.

Reportedly, Netflix managed to go through a competitive bidding process so that the company managed to lead the Warner Bros. acquisition negotiations. This stage is a continuation of the review round some time ago.

On December 2, 2025, as Bloomber reported for the first time, Warner Bros Discovery has reviewed the second round of offers from various important parties. This offer is part of the auction.

There are many large companies that have joined this auction, including Paramount, Comcast, and Netflix. All three are known to have worked hard to prepare for the best offer. Some have made bids for part or all of the company's assets.

Netflix, which is the leader of the global streaming industry, has emerged as the highest bidder to acquire the WBD. To support its big offer, Netflix is reportedly managing a bridge loan worth tens of billions of dollars.

The current offer is considered binding, meaning that the board of directors of Warner Bros Discovery has the potential to approve its agreement in the near future. However, the company has yet to mention that the proposal linking it is final.

This means that the company is still open to additional offers. If this acquisition is successful, the merger of Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery will increase great competition on the entertainment market and global streaming.
