Netflix’s historic Warner Bros. acquisition will transform Hollywood and the streaming wars, raises antitrust questions and puts major franchises like DC and ‘Stranger Things’ under one roof.

The Hollywood screenwriters’ guild joined cinema owners — who have long criticised Netflix’s reluctance to widely distribute films for the big screen — in calling for the deal to be blocked. Actress Jane Fonda said the proposed deal “threatens the entire entertainment industry”.

Page will play “a dangerously charismatic outsider” who infiltrates a “seemingly picture-perfect Los Angeles family” from the pool house.

It’s been nearly five years since Regé-Jean Page shot to stardom as Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, in season 1 of the Netflix drama series, Bridgerton. Now, the streaming giant is bringing him back, this time for an erotic thriller series that’s still in development.
