Tennessee Attorney General (AG) Jonathan Skrmetti has joined a coalition of state attorneys general urging the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct a thorough antitrust review of the proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Bros., warning that the deal could harm consumers, creators and the broader film industry. In a statement, Skrmetti emphasized the potential harm to creative professionals: “This merger threatens to devastate movie and television production and abandon America’s enduring legacy as the dominant force in global cinema. We are exploring options to protect Tennessee consumers and creators.”
