When it comes to creating irresistible storylines, Netflix, the home of Stranger Things and The Crown, is second to none. And as the streaming video giant delivered its quarterly earnings report on Tuesday, executives were in top storytelling form, pitching what they promise will be a smash hit: the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.
The company’s co-CEOs, Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters, said the deal, which values Warner Bros. Discovery at $83 billion, will accelerate its own core streaming business while helping it expand into TV and the theatrical film business.
