The next earthquake in Hollywood comes with a possible move by Netflix.
NBCUniversal's split from Comcast has fueled speculation about the media giant being bought by Netflix; A deal that, if realized, could change the map of Hollywood and the streaming market.
Comcast announced in June 2026 that it plans to separate its media and entertainment division, including NBCUniversal and Shemei, from its communications and technology operations and make it an independent publicly traded company.
This separation is supposed to be done through a tax-free transfer to the shareholders, and its completion depends on receiving the required approvals, regulatory approvals and making financial arrangements.
Comcast announced that after this separation, a maximum stake of 19.9% in the new company can be maintained for one year.
Analysts and media market activists believe that Netflix could be one of the most serious possible buyers of NBCUniversal after the independence of this company.
