According to Deadline, Warner Bros. Discovery is in negotiations to potentially license some HBO library titles to Netflix. This would be the first time in nearly a decade that HBO shows were made available to stream on a rival subscription platform in the US. The first HBO show that would potentially move over to Netflix is the comedy-drama "Insecure," which ran for five seasons and wrapped up in December 2021. - Deadline reports that long-time HBO veterans pushed back against the move but were overruled.
- The shows would be licensed non-exclusively to Netflix, meaning they'd still be available to stream on the Max platform as well.
- "Insecure" has also aired on the WB Discovery-owned cable network OWN; edited versions of HBO's "Sex and the City," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and "The Sopranos" have also been syndicated to various cable networks.
