Our Most Highly-Anticipated British TV Arrivals on Streaming of 2023
When Netflix remade the award-winning British series House of Cards in 2013 for its first major release, few understood just how much it would change the way we consume entertainment in the coming decade that followed. But as we round into 2023 and the tenth anniversary of that debut, the upheaval is about to begin again. Since the beginning of the 2020s, Telly Visions has been tracking the streaming world for anglophiles, where the shows and movies are going, and why. This past year, 2022, has been relatively calm, no new major streaming services were launched, and only one shut down Spectrum Originals. However, that will not be the case for 2023.
The major shift among the most prominent streaming services will be the merger of HBO Max with Discovery+, currently on track to occur in the summer of 2023. This will be the capstone in Discovery Network's takeover of Warner Media (which owns HBO Max), and for viewers, it will subtract one streaming service from the 20+ services available. It will also mean that Anglophiles will have to decide if the combined streamer (rumored to be called "Max") is still worth paying for.
However, that's not the only significant change viewers should keep an eye on.
