If it doesn't succeed, expect more of the same from FAANG. Until we have FANG, then FAN, then FA, then just F.

A high profile acquisition or merger within FAANG is extremely unlikely. These companies are already treading a careful line with antitrust and a merger would be unbelievably risky. There is also basically no point on either side; these companies are doing just fine. If anything the competition is probably good for them.
Netflix is probably the highest risk of being acquired by someone like Apple, or more likely traditional media owner like Disney or Comcast.
