Netflix could kill HBO series like 'Harry Potter' and 'Lanterns' — here's why

Netflix and WBD logos superimposed on a TV screen.

In case you've missed the news, Netflix has agreed to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. That means Netflix and HBO Max, two of the biggest streaming services, will merge. While it sounds like they'll remain separate services — for now — that doesn't mean Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos doesn't already have a vision for how this mammoth media conglomerate will operate. Spoiler alert: Some big changes could be coming.

HBO will return to being the home of the prestige TV content that made it famous. Think less "Dune: Prophecy" and more "Task." That might not be such a bad idea after all.
