Sky and WarnerMedia expand long term relationship with new multi-year content deal

This important deal gives Sky customers access to more premium content from HBO, Warner
Bros. TV & Movies, CNN and Cartoon Network as well as a new HBO Max programming
deal for Sky, Neon and Prime in New Zealand.

Sky and global entertainment conglomerate WarnerMedia have today expanded and
extended their long-established relationship, announcing a major multi-year deal that will
see customers able to access programming across core brands like Warner Bros., HBO,
DC, and WarnerMedia Networks as well as premium content from HBO Max.

The deal ensures that Kiwis will continue to enjoy WarnerMedia content and additionally
have access to HBO Max content on Sky’s platforms. It brings the breadth and depth
of WarnerMedia’s exceptional storytelling to Sky customers in all ways that work for them,
with selected titles available on Sky Box and Sky On Demand, streamed on Neon and Sky Go,
and free-to-air on Prime.

The superb WarnerMedia content on Sky ranges from highly anticipated blockbuster
films, award-winning premium drama, acclaimed documentary films and series, to popular
children’s brand Cartoon Network, and award-winning international news service, CNN.

Sky will continue to be the exclusive Home of HBO in New Zealand, where Kiwis will
be entertained by shows like the highly anticipated upcoming Game of Thrones
prequel House of the Dragon, along with renewed seasons of Succession, Westworld and
Emmy-award winning series Euphoria on Sky’s platforms.

One of the exciting aspects of this renewed deal is that Sky and Neon customers will have
exclusive access to highly anticipated HBO Max Original content, including the new Gossip
Girl, The Flight Attendant starring Kaley Cuoco, and Ridley Scott’s sci-fi series Raised by
Wolves.

Sky Movies and Neon customers will also have exclusive access to feature films from Warner
Bros. productions including Wonder Woman 1984, The Witches and Unpregnant as well as
fan-favourites for the whole family to enjoy, including the Harry Potter franchise and a vast
collection of DC titles.

Popular kids brand and channel Cartoon Network will continue to add value to
Sky customers’ channels packages, including favourite long-running series We Bare
Bears, Teen Titans Go! and Ben 10, along with international news service
CNN serving breaking headlines from across the globe to Kiwis and in-depth coverage from
business, politics to entertainment and more.

A special feature of the partnership is a new co-production agreement to co-produce more
original New Zealand programming, with Sky Originals NZ and Warner Bros. International
Television Production NZ.

Sky Chief Executive Sophie Moloney said: “HBO and Warner Bros. create superb content that
we know our customers love. This renewed deal was very important for us to secure, and
we’re delighted to let our customers know that they will continue to have the breadth and
depth of the WarnerMedia content offering on Sky and Neon. From House of the
Dragon to Wonder Woman, We Bare Bears to breaking news, this new
expanded WarnerMedia partnership means our customers will continue to enjoy the
content that we know they love, in one place.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer HBO Max content on Sky and Neon, and it couldn’t come
at a better time with our customers in lockdown around Aotearoa New Zealand and looking
for more great shows to watch.

“Sky’s goal is to be the preferred aggregator of content for New Zealanders, where Kiwis can
view all of their favourite content in one place, and this content partnership is a hugely
important element of our offering.

“The new co-production agreement is a special part of the deal. Through Sky Originals NZ
we have a longstanding commitment to producing quality local content and to supporting
the New Zealand creative sector, and we’re excited to be working together with Warner
Bros. TV to co-produce even more great New Zealand stories.”

Michael Brooks, Managing Director WarnerMedia International Distribution ANZ said “Sky
has been the home of HBO in New Zealand for the past decade, and we’re thrilled
this continued partnership allows us to expand our content offering to include HBO MAX
series, Warner Bros. award winning television series and features, CNN and Cartoon
Network content. Over the term WarnerMedia will deliver some of the world’s most
anticipated premium drama series including Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon
and Sex and the City continuation And Just Like That..., along with our slate of blockbuster
DC movie titles.

As part of this agreement, we also applaud Sky’s commitment to supporting local drama
production through their newly formed partnership with Warner Bros. International
Television Production New Zealand.”
