“It does feel like this is a moment,” said Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav during his company’s earnings call. Zaslav was referring to the changes roiling the streaming world that prompted Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery to team up to offer a bundle of their Disney+, Hulu and Max streaming services starting this summer. “The business will look a lot different in two to three years,” added Zaslav. “It will be a lot better for consumers.”

The woman depicted as a stalker in Netflix’s sleeper hit “Baby Reindeer” came out swinging in an interview with Piers Morgan on Thursday. Scottish lawyer Fiona Harvey (Martha in the series) said the show was a “work of fiction,” and had led to death threats. “It’s been absolutely horrendous,” she told Morgan, claiming that rather than the thousands of emails her character sent to series creator/comedian/bartender Richard Gadd as depicted in the show, in fact she had just sent him some “jokey banter emails.” Netflix has said the drama is a true story, and that it took “every reasonable precaution in disguising the real-life identities of the people involved.”
