Next year the streaming wars are being shaken up again.

After news broke earlier this week that Warner Bros. Discovery was cancelling some of their HBO Max films Batgirl, and the Scoob! prequel film we have now learned in the Q2 earnings call that the company will merge it’s two streaming platforms.

No word on what this really means for HBO Max original films or what is staying and leaving or even what the name of this new service will be called.

All that is known is that this move will become official by next summer. You can read more below:

I have no words for everything that’s been happening with this move over the past couple days. The Batgirl cancellation for a tax cut was upsetting and then everything we learned in this earnings call doesn’t give me optimism that the future is good at Warner Bros. Discovery. More so that this will  be good for us the consumer. They’ll make their money but we might be losing the things we love most about these two different streaming services.
