Netflix Sends Letter to 300 Million Subscribers Following Warner Bros. Acquisition Announcement

Netflix has comforted its subscribers by stating that the purchase of Warner Bros. will not lead to any drastic alterations in their viewing habits in the near future. In a letter dispatched at midnight to more than 300 million recipients, Netflix affirmed that the two services - Netflix and the Warner Bros. platforms (including HBO and HBO Max) - will run separately until the acquisition is finalized. The transition is likely to take between 12 and 18 months, so it depends on regulatory authorities and company owners to give their consent.

Amid the enormous hype surrounding Netflix’s largest acquisition ever, the company’s statement has come as an official communication to the public where it stated, “There are no changes for today." The firm has guaranteed members that there will be no alteration in their current subscription plans and access to content during the period of transition. Furthermore, it mentioned that the migration of Warner Bros. content to Netflix would not occur immediately, hence, the audiences can continue experiencing both firms without any restrictions.

Netflix Letter Highlights:

• Warner Bros., HBO, and HBO Max become part of Netflix.
• The popular characters Harry Potter, Friends, Game of Thrones, The Big Bang Theory, Stranger Things, and more will finally be available.
• No immediate changes in terms of subscriptions or content libraries.
• Regulatory and shareholder approval is still ongoing; updates will be shared as the deal progresses.

Moreover, Netflix has updated its evaluations section confirming that the subscription plans of the users will not be affected. If approved, the merger will give Netflix the right to use some of the most famous franchises in the world, thus greatly enhancing its content library.
