Netflix drops out. The board of Warner Bros. Discovery said Thursday that it had determined that Paramount’s sweetened offer of $31 per share qualifies as a “superior proposal,” activating a four-business-day window for Netflix to match or exceed the bid – and Netflix dropped out. “This transaction was always a ‘nice to have’ at the right price, not a ‘must have’ at any price,” Netflix co-chief executives, Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters, said in a statement. WBD still must secure the necessary regulatory approval for a deal with Paramount.

Fox Nation has ordered a new reality dating series fronted by Chris Harrison, the longtime face of “The Bachelor” and its offshoots, according to Deadline. The series appears to take a more restrained approach than its predecessors, with contestants seeking a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership” centered on commitment and shared values rather than high drama. Harrison left the “Bachelor” universe in 2021 after 19 years, following backlash for defending a contestant’s photos taken at an antebellum-themed party.
