Netflix narrows acquisition targets to Lionsgate amid regulatory and ownership hurdles with others.

Netflix has shifted its acquisition strategy from mega-mergers to smaller, more feasible deals after losing a bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. Among four potential targets—Roku, FuboTV, Roblox, and Lionsgate—only Lionsgate stands out as a viable candidate due to lack of controlling shareholders, no pending deals, and a strategic fit with Netflix's content focus. Regulatory barriers and ownership structures make Roku, FuboTV, and Roblox unlikely targets. Netflix's preference for smaller acquisitions suggests Lionsgate is the most plausible option, though no official bids have been announced.
