The entertainment world is changing a lot. Streaming is popular, but it is also expensive. Warner Bros. Discovery has a lot of debt. Selling some parts of the company will help them. Netflix is already popular everywhere. They want to add Warner Bros.' great movies and TV shows.
The deal involves cash and Netflix stock for Warner Bros. shareholders. This purchase will be looked at closely by government regulators. They worry if one company becomes too powerful. Some people are concerned about fewer choices for viewers. Netflix promises to still release movies in cinemas.
