A list of streaming stories you may have missed the week ending May 1

The Warner Bros. Discovery/Paramount merger was back in the news this week. Fresh off last week’s news that WBD shareholders had approved the takeover offer from Paramount Skydance, an FCC filing surfaced which indicated that the new combined company will be 49.5% foreign-owned when the deal closes.

If that news threw you into a deep dive into the transaction once again, or you simply got absorbed in the rest of your week’s comings and goings, you may have missed key streaming headlines over the course of the past few days. We’ll sum up the streaming stories from the week’s news you may not have caught so far below!
