Netflix has agreed to acquire Warner Bros Discovery in an $82.7 billion deal, including Warner Bros studios, HBO and HBO Max.

The purchase, financed with help from banks, aims to expand Netflix’s studio operations, offer more choices to users and create shareholder value.

The deal, subject to regulatory approval, has an equity value of $72 billion and could close within 12 to 18 months. It follows a bidding war with Paramount, Skydance and Comcast, and carries a $5.8 billion breakup fee if it falls through. Netflix plans to maintain WBD’s current operations, including theatrical film releases.
