Deadline understands that Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is shopping some of its HBO library titles to rival Netflix (NFLX), which “would mark the first time in nearly a decade that HBO shows would exist on a rival SVOD service in the U.S.,” Deadline’s Peter White reported on Tuesday night. The first title that Deadline understands is set to be part of the arrangement is Issa Rae comedy Insecure, which finished its run on HBO in December 2021, according to the report, which adds that sources says “this is a financial move” and that corporate financial consideration won out although HBO veterans “pushed back against the plan.”
