What Happens to HBO After Paramount Buys Warner Bros.?

Like the rest of the town last week, the shock news of Paramount Skydance’s 11th-hour successful acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery stung deep at HBO. According to at least one insider, when word came down on Thursday that Netflix had ended its pursuit of the company, HBO chairman and CEO Casey Bloys walked out of his office and proclaimed, “It’s over.”

And he wasn’t just referring to the uncertainty surrounding the future of who would ultimately control Warner Bros. Discovery — and ergo, HBO. No, the surprise deal that would put Paramount Skydance and the Donald Trump-friendly Ellisons in charge of HBO — and what it might mean for the future of the company and its HBO Max streamer — sent staffers into a weekend tailspin.
