Kimmel Returns to TV as Disney+ Prices Increase: What to Watch – Tips for Streaming
This weekend brings some exciting new content to our favorite streaming platforms. Apple TV+ is releasing the new season of the British spy thriller series “Slow Horses,” starring the legendary Gary Oldman. Netflix subscribers can dive into the Irish historical drama series “House of Guinness,” while Amazon Prime users can enjoy the action-packed drama series “Hostel Costiera,” starring Jesse Williams. And for Disney+ fans, get ready to stream the animated superhero series “Marvel Zombies.”
After a brief hiatus, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is set to return to airwaves following remarks made by the host that led to a suspension. Disney explained that they made the decision to suspend production in order to avoid escalating tensions during a sensitive time. Although ABC will air the show, Sinclair and Nexstar are still preempting it until they receive assurance that a respectful and constructive environment will be maintained.
In other news, the Federal Trade Commission reached a settlement with Amazon.com and its executives, requiring the tech giant to pay a hefty fine and provide refunds to consumers who were enrolled in Prime subscriptions without consent. Amazon responded, stating that they have always followed the law and will continue to provide substantial value to their loyal Prime members.
Paramount Skydance has not yet made a formal offer for Warner Bros. Discovery amid concerns that a bid could lead to a bidding war. Skydance is strategizing on the best approach to avoid a hostile bid and may reach out to major shareholders like John Malone. KeyBanc downgraded Warner Bros. Discovery, citing uncertainty surrounding a potential deal with Paramount Skydance.
Lastly, AB InBev and Netflix announced a global partnership, collaborating on co-marketing campaigns across popular global and regional titles. The partnership will include consumer activations, limited-edition packaging, and promotions, along with co-branded campaigns around Netflix live events. Cheers to exciting collaborations in the world of entertainment!
