Skydance has announced a subscription bundle for both Paramount+ and HBO Max is coming to viewers as soon as early 2027.
Skydance has released some of its first big news off the back of Warner Bros. and Paramount’s merger last month. Starting early next year, viewers will have the option to surf through shows on HBO and Paramount at “an even greater value,” as told by the company in a letter to shareholders on Monday (via CNET).
“Starting in early 2027, consumers will be able to subscribe to both world-class streaming services at an even greater value,” the letter reads. “We look forward to sharing more details on the bundle and our streaming roadmap in the coming months.”
Going by this letter, it appears a bundle of these two services is the first step in Skydance’s eventual goal of creating an all-new streaming platform that combines both HBO Max and Paramount.
“As we said, we do plan to put the two services together, which today gives us a little over 200 million direct-to-consumer subscribers,” Skydance CEO David Ellison said in a March investor call. “We think that really positions us to compete with the leaders in the space.”
“At Paramount, by the middle of this year, we’ll have completed the consolidation of our three services under one unified stack.” He explained the company’s approach in the months ahead and stated, "We think the combined offering – and given the amount of content and what we can do from the tech side – really will put us in the position to be able to compete with the most scaled players in DTC."
