[ad_1] Apparently, WarnerMedia’s victory came down to the breadth of what it could offer. Bad Robot wanted to work with a “larger” company that had both film and TV distribution under its belt. Streaming providers don’t really have that kind of reach, and Apple TV+ hasn’t even launched yet. This isn’t to say online services […]

[ad_1] There’s no set release date for The Sisterhood or any initial cast choices, although it’s clearly not going to make the WarnerMedia service’s late 2019 debut. The series could be a coup for WarnerMedia. While it has been lining up original shows, the AT&T-owned media behemoth has so far talked mostly about taking advantage […]

[ad_1] Stephenson didn’t name specific shows that would make the leap, although it’s not hard to see likely candidates. Netflix’s extended Friends deal only lasts through 2019, while WarnerMedia’s service is expected to debut in beta by late 2019. Stephenson also named shows like Big Bang Theory and Seinfeld as strong suits. This was somewhat […]

[ad_1] WarnerMedia, which owns HBO, TNT, TBS, CNN, Adult Swim and other channels, plans to launch its streaming service in 2020, with a beta version scheduled for later this year. It’s unclear which shows will get a streaming debut. The vast number of shows that now fall under WarnerMedia’s umbrella include TBS’s The Detour and […]

[ad_1] This doesn’t preclude a second season, but it’s not great news at a time when DCU only has a handful of shows in development and still relies heavily on its back catalog of videos and comic books to attract subscribers. The more there is to watch, the less likely it is that members might […]

[ad_1] AT&T said it would use the money to “reduce its debt.” Between this and Disney’s acquisition of key Fox assets, Hulu’s joint venture is down to just two companies, Disney and Comcast. It’s not yet certain just how this affects the ownership ratios, but Disney already had majority control with 60 percent while Comcast […]
