In a decision that could change the future of TV and cinema Warner Bros Discovery, according to deadline, would have decided to continue negotiations with Netflix that would make the best offer for the only component related to studios and HBO Max. Netflix would offer $28 per share mostly in cash.Comcast (Universal) would make an offer for the same parts of WBD while Paramount-Skydance would want everything.
Precisely from Paramount came an attack claiming that the negotiation is conditioned by the fact that David Zaslav, current CEO of WBD would have assurances on his future within the company, conditioning the negotiation. Not only but according to Paramount the Netflix offer will be blocked by the Antitrust as it would form a monopoly in streaming both in the US and globally. WBD would like to make a deal in the coming weeks. What will the future be? Even soon to say it but while HBO Max is preparing to arrive in Italy it could change everything within a few months. And speaking of business movements, Comcast has officialized the separation of the cable side with the birth of Versant that from the beginning of 2026 will manage digital platforms and cable channels like USA Network, Syfy, E!, Oxygen. The group’s strategy is to focus on known reality and brands (such as The Rainmaker).
Clue per Peacock
Peacock enjoys murder mystery. While Poker Face ended after two seasons (initiated in Italy) with Rian Johnson looking for a new home, while on February 8 the mystery comedy The ‘Burbs, adaptation of the 1989 film (The grass of the neighbor) with Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall (here the trailer) here is that the Comcast platform took the project of a scripted series on Clue-Cluedo.
The series is created by Dana Fox and Nicholas Stoller, produced by Sony Pictures and Hasbro Entertainment. Authors and producers sent the material to be submitted to buyers with elements related to the game. The agreement with Peacock allows the platform to continue on this trail of mystery-comedy, on the other hand leaves Sony free hands to sell the rights not being a global platform like the others (and this is a bit of a madness of the Comcast group that still has in its Sky and SkyShowtime portfolio that could exploit).
