Love is a many streaming thing.
The Warner Bros. Discovery merger continues as the new company looks ahead to the future, plans for a combined streaming service were announced during their Q2 earnings call.
Warner Bros. Discovery is planning to combine its platforms HBO Max and Discovery+ into one streamer, Warner Bros. Discovery's CEO and president of global streaming interactive, JB Perrette confirmed Thursday, before revealing the combined platform is set for a summer 2023 launch.
Additional details about the fusion remain unknown ranging from pricing to a platform name as Warner Bros. Discovery works on creating a cohesive entity. Currently, Warner Bros. Discovery is focused on ad-supported and ad-free versions of the combined HBO Max/Discovery+ platform.
Perrette said added that they're "exploring how to reach customers in the free, ad-supported space," as well. As reported during the call, in the second quarter, Warner Bros. Discovery's HBO Max, HBO, and Discovery+ subscribers clocked in at 92.1 million, up 1.7 million from the 90.4 million in quarter one.
As of now, HBO Max is $14.99 per month for subscribers to access ad-free content and $9.99 per month for ad-supported subscribers in the U.S. And Discovery+ is noticeably less at $6.99 per month without ads and $4.99 per month with ads.
This reveal comes fresh off the heels of the news that several titles from HBO Max's library are being removed along with the upcoming addition of Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Network programming arriving on HBO Max this fall.

This past week, we lost Olivia Newton John. She was seen on American Idol and DWTS, but an icon as Sandy from Grease in the movie version and inspired many to play that iconic role on Broadway and beyond. Here is our newest discovery to the world, Alex Van den Brock and the Rocket City Choir!
May she rest in peace because cancer sucks.

Dating can be awkward at the best of times; now imagine your brother or sister there to watch your every move. That's the concept behind the new Netflix reality series Dated & Related, which is set to premiere on Friday, September 2.
The series will see a group of singles living in a luxury villa in the south of France in the hopes of finding love. The catch? Each person is joined by their sibling, who is also looking for love. "Having the person who knows you better than anyone should help you navigate the tricky world of dating," reads the show's synopsis, but, judging by the trailer, it could also make things that much harder.
In the teaser, we see cringe-inducing dinner dates, uncomfortable sibling conversations, and plenty of awkward hookups. "Why would anyone do this?" asks host Melinda Berry, which is an entirely valid question. "Because finding love isn't easy," she follows up, which doesn't quite justify things. Berry herself rose to fame on the second season of another awkward Netflix dating show, Too Hot to Handle.
Cast members include Texas-based student sisters Mady and Lily Bajor; British twin brothers Kaz and Kieran Bishop; competitive cousins Jason Cohen and Chris Hahn; brothers and best friends Dyman and Deyon Miller; Norwegian twin sisters Diana Javidi Parsijani and Nina Javidi Parsijani; and brother and sister combo Corrina and Joey Roppo.
The series comes from All3Media labels Great Scott Media and Main Event Media. It is executive produced by Leon Wilson, Ed Sleeman, Saul Fearnley, Jimmy Fox, and Emily Bon

Some more dating news now and BET announced a daring new dating series with EMMY(R) Award-winning production company Bunim/Murray Productions, titled "After Happily Ever After." Hosted by Mr. 106 & Park himself, Bow Wow, this one-of-a-kind relationship experience marks a return to his BET home after an eight-year hiatus. In "After Happily Ever After," people in long-term relationships that ended in divorce or separation will have their exes play matchmaker for their former partners to help them let go, move on, and find love once again. Filmed in Kentucky and premiering this Fall on BET, "After Happily Ever After" is Bunim/Murray Productions' first unscripted series for the Network. Additional casting news, including a few celebrity daters, will be revealed in the coming weeks.
On each installment of the eight-episode reality series "After Happily Ever After," Bow Wow will throw a Singles Party with a new group of potential prospects for the daters. These parties, however, are only attended by the Ex-spouses so that they can determine who might be best suited for their former partner. The Exes will invite one of the prospects to move into the house to date their former spouse for 48 hours. At the end of the two days, the dater will then decide if they will keep the prospect or send them back to the singles pool and have another opportunity to meet someone new. Are Exes the most equipped candidates to help these daters meet their next love? In this environment, will old feelings resurface while watching their former partner fall in love with someone new? Will they realize their Ex is still the one? Or will they find a new love in their after happily ever after?
"We look forward to airing this entertaining dating series that will help singles find love. This show promises to be full of surprises, twists, and turns that will leave viewers asking for more," said Tiffany Lea Williams, Executive Vice President of BET Unscripted Programming. "We are also thrilled to welcome Bow Wow home to BET and to partner with Bunim/Murray Productions, who has been creating unscripted hits for three decades and always delivers their latest guilty pleasures to viewers. We can't wait to add After Happily Ever After to our winning portfolio of acclaimed unscripted shows that engage and delight fans across all of our platforms worldwide."
"We're thrilled to be collaborating with the BET creative team on this fresh new format that offers a new perspective on the realities of second-chapter dating," said Bunim/Murray President Julie Pizzi. "This unique series is created for men and women looking for their second act love story while taking into consideration that they are often still entangled with their exes because of their history, their children, and their extended families. On After Happily Ever After, ex-couples who genuinely loved each other can now work together to give their ex another shot at finding a life-long partner."
"After Happily Ever After" is executive produced by Julie Pizzi and Erica Ross with Bunim/Murray Productions (MTV's The Real World and The Challenge, OWN's Family or Fiancé), and Andrea Richter serves as the series showrunner. Tiffany Lea Williams and Angela Aguilera serve as executive producers for BET.

If you're wondering when DWTS will debut, well......
Dancing With the Stars will officially samba its way to streaming this September.
The reality competition, formerly an ABC mainstay, will make its debut on new home Disney+ on Monday, Sept. 19, the streamer announced Wednesday. A time slot has not yet been specified, but during its ABC run, DWTS typically went live at 8/7c.
DWTS' move to Disney+ was first announced in April, following a whopping 30 seasons on the Alphabet Net starting in 2005.
"Dancing with the Stars has entertained fans for 16 years on ABC, and we are excited to bring this beloved show exclusively to Disney+ as the platform's first-ever live series," Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution Chairman Kareem Daniel said at the time. "The show's broad appeal, as well as the overwhelming popularity of its Disney-themed competition nights, make Disney+ the perfect home for Dancing with the Stars while continuing to expand our demographic reach."
Season 31 will mark Disney+'s first attempt at weekly live programming, though the streamer did experiment with live content back in June, when it broadcast Walt Disney World's Harmonious Live! fireworks display from Epcot. Disney+ has also already ordered Season 32 of Dancing With the Stars; a premiere timetable is TBA.
As reported in July, Alfonso Ribeiro is joining as a co-host alongside Tyra Banks for Season 31. Banks returns for her third season as host and executive producer, and the judging panel will return intact as well, with Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough all coming back for the inaugural Disney+ season.
Dancing With the Stars' Season 31 cast will be announced Thursday, Sept. 8 on Good Morning America.

Ink Master is officially returning for Season 14 on Wednesday, September 7 with Joel Madden set to host. Ink Master Season 14 will drop exclusively on Paramount+, the streamer announced Friday, August 5, and the Good Charlotte lead singer, entrepreneur, and culture enthusiast will be joined by Season 8 winner Ryan Ashley, celebrity tattoo artist Nikko Hurtado, and industry veteran Ami James as judges.
In the new season of Ink Master, legendary fan-favorite artists return to compete in the ultimate tattoo competition. The artists will battle it out and face some of the biggest, most exciting, and epic challenges seen in the history of the competition, all for the biggest grand prize yet: $250,000 and the title of "Ink Master."
Former host Dave Navarro returns to the series as the "Master of Chaos," introducing crazy twists and game-changing bombs to the competition. The contestants will need to prove they possess the high-level skills that set an Ink Master apart: composition, precision, color theory, finesse, stamina, and endurance. With stakes higher than they've ever been, a single misstep could send them home and, in the end, only one artist will walk away with the title.

Fox Television Stations (FTS) will debut a four-week preview of Person, Place, or Thing with Melissa Peterman on Aug. 8 on select Fox-owned stations in markets including New York and Los Angeles.
Stephen Brown, executive vice president of programming and development, said: "This is the perfect summer game: light, fun, and breezy, like an Aperol Spritz. Melissa is the host of this summer party- it's her house, her game and you'll leave having had the best time ever."
Person, Place, or Thing is a game where players ask "yes" or "no" questions to guess an answer correctly. Created by Jeff Proctor and Paul Franklin, this game show intersperses comedy with common knowledge. Jeff Proctor, Paul Franklin, Melissa Peterman and Tracy Verna will serve as executive producers.
Twenty episodes will be distributed by Fox First Run.
Peterman said: "I think game shows are a lot of people's happy place. I know they're mine. Person, Place, or Thing is uncomplicated fun that the whole family can enjoy, especially since you'll always be the best player from home."
