The days when we went to brick-and-mortar video rental stores for movie news and took away our dream film on VHS for a day are long gone. The relevant events have moved to the Internet, and for a certain fee we have the opportunity to watch films and series of various genres and in high quality in the peace and comfort of not only our own home, but basically anywhere and at any time. Alongside well-known providers such as iTunes, Netflix or HBO, Warner has also joined the ranks.

WarnerMedia has officially announced the launch of a new streaming service on its website - it should happen in the fourth quarter of next year. The launch of the online video rental company is one of the results of the buyout of TimeWarner by the giant AT&T (US operator). WarnerMedia includes not only Warner Bros., but also, for example, DC Comics, the TV company CM, which includes the domestic Nova, for example, and HBO, which already operates its own HBO GO platform.
Given that the launch of the service is still relatively far away, no further details are known, such as the locations in which the video library will be available, how the launch of the service will affect the functioning of the existing HBO Go, or whether Warner will stream, rent, or even sell films. In any case, it looks like the online Warner video library will contribute even more to the current fragmentation of the market. In addition to the established players such as iTunes, services such as the aforementioned Netflix, HBO GO, or Amazon Prime. While some operators operate on a monthly subscription basis, others also offer the option to purchase or rent a given title.
I don't know, maybe something will happen in a year? I'm not interested yet and it's unlikely to change. They are late with it.
