AEW and Warner Bros Discovery in Talks for New TV Show – Fans should brace themselves for news of a new AEW program, as negotiations between AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery are reaching a crucial point to extend their TV rights deal set to expire later this year.
While discussions are ongoing, it’s unlikely that a new deal will be officially announced during the Warner Bros. Discovery TV upfronts beginning today. Despite AEW being mentioned, an imminent announcement isn’t anticipated, given that both parties haven’t finalized terms yet.
Reports suggest that any announcement, if reached, will be kept under wraps until later in the summer or fall. Currently, there’s an exclusivity window between AEW and WBD through the summer.
Furthermore, there’s speculation about a potential new AEW-related program in the works with Warner Bros. Discovery, although details remain scarce. Notably, this program isn’t described as a reality series.
“There is a pilot for a new AEW-related program with WBD that was set to be announced for social channels this week. It was described as not being a reality series.” No further details were given.
Discussions also include the possibility of adding AEW pay-per-view events to the Max streaming service, aligning with WBD’s strategy to integrate Max into its deals.
In light of Warner Bros. Discovery potentially losing NBA rights to NBC, the company is expected to redirect resources to maintain its position in cable and explore other properties to attract viewers.
