New Paramount Plus and HBO Max Bundle to Arrive Early Next Year

Now that the merger is complete, Skydance aims to deliver on its promise to bring both streamers together.

Skydance, the company formed by the combination of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, intends to launch a Paramount Plus and HBO Max streaming bundle in early 2027. The announcement was shared in a letter to shareholders on Monday ahead of the media giant’s third-quarter earnings call. It marks the first earnings presentation since the merger between Paramount Skydance and WBD was finalized in October.

This past March, then-Paramount CEO (now Skydance CEO) David Ellison said the plan is to merge both streaming services together into a single app. According to today’s announcement, the first step is to roll out a bundled offering as the company integrates the two platforms into one. “As we work toward a fully unified offering, we will phase in changes based on consumer feedback so we can continue to drive healthy financial growth through the transition,” the letter said. With the bundle, customers should expect a new movie to drop between the two platforms “every two weeks, on average.”

Additionally, Skydance unveiled the three new divisions under its reorganized banner: Skydance Studios, Skydance Direct-to-Consumer and Skydance TV. The studios department will oversee film and TV productions, while the DTC division manages the streaming businesses, and the Skydance TV umbrella covers its cable and broadcast networks such as CBS, Food Network, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, CNN and TNT.

Paramount Plus is home to CBS content, as well as streaming originals like MobLand, Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, Tulsa King and Yellowjackets.
