Netflix backs out of Warner Bros deal, clearing the path for Paramount

Netflix has withdrawn its bid to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery, thereby allowing Paramount to take the lead in acquiring the studio and its streaming business.

Netflix has made the surprising decision to retract its proposal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming operations, thereby facilitating Paramount's opportunity to take over the renowned Hollywood studio. This announcement comes after Warner's board indicated that Paramount's recent offer of $31 per share was more appealing than Netflix’s proposal. Despite being given a limited timeframe to respond with a counteroffer, Netflix opted instead to walk away from the deal, citing that the new price rendered the acquisition financially unfeasible.
