Comcast’s Sky Withdraws Suit Against Warner Bros. Discovery After Two Ink Broad Distribution Deal
Sky and Warner Bros. Discovery and their respective counsels agreed to a voluntary dismissal of a lawsuit that had an upcoming HBO Harry Potter series in the middle.
All rights reserved./Courtesy Everett Collection Sky, which operates in the UK, Germany and Italy, sued WBD in September for acting in bad faith in a five-year output deal with HBO — mainly by not giving it access to enough programming under the contract. Sky was particularly irked by a planned HBO Harry Potter series to launch in 2026 after the output deal was set to expire (in 2025). The deal announced today sees Comcast and WBD in long-term agreements that will deliver WBD’s extensive portfolio of content to Xfinity and Sky UK and Ireland customers using Comcast’s global technology platform across linear television, apps, and streaming services.
