Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly in talks to license some of its HBO library titles to rival streaming service Netflix, in a surprising move that could mark a significant shift in the premium pay landscape. Deadline was first to report.
The deal, if finalized, would be the first time in nearly a decade that HBO shows are made available on a competing SVOD platform in the United States. Unnamed sources indicate that the first title under consideration for the arrangement is the popular comedy series Insecure, created by Issa Rae, which aired for five seasons on HBO and ended in December 2021.
