Paramount Skydance

1912–1986

Paramount Pictures was founded in 1912 as the Famous Players Film Company.^[21] CBS was founded in 1927, which Paramount Pictures held a 49% ownership stake in from 1929 to 1932.^[22][23]

In 1952, CBS formed CBS Television Film Sales, a division which handled broadcast syndication rights for CBS's library of network-owned television series.^[24][25][26] This division was renamed CBS Films in 1958^[27][28] and again renamed CBS Enterprises Inc. on December 1, 1967.^[29][30] It was renamed Viacom (an acronym of Video and Audio Communications) in 1970.^[31] In 1971, this syndication division was spun off amid new FCC rules forbidding television networks from owning syndication companies (these rules were eventually abolished completely in 1993).^[32]

Meanwhile, Paramount Pictures was acquired by Gulf and Western Industries in 1966, which then re-branded itself as Paramount Communications in 1989.^[33]

1986–2005

In 1986, Viacom purchased MTV Networks and Showtime/The Movie Channel Inc. from Warner Communications and American Express.^[34] In 1987, a majority stake in Viacom was acquired by theater operator company National Amusements.^[35]

Viacom then purchased a 50.1% stake in Paramount Communications in February 1994 for $9.75 billion, following a five-month battle with shopping channel QVC. The merger was completed in July.^[36][37][38] In 1999, Viacom made its biggest acquisition to date by announcing plans to merge with its former parent CBS Corporation (the renamed Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which had merged with CBS in 1995). The merger was completed in 2000, resulting in CBS reuniting with its former syndication division.^[39][40]

2005–2022

On December 31, 2005, Viacom was split into two companies: the second incarnation of CBS Corporation, the former's corporate successor, and the second incarnation of Viacom, which was formed as a spin-off.^[40][41]

Skydance Media was founded in 2006 by David Ellison.^[42] In 2009, Skydance and Paramount Pictures signed a five-year co-financing, production and distribution agreement, with Paramount holding an additional option of distribution.^[42] That deal would later be extended twice in 2013 and 2017.^[43][44]

Formation

In 2023, after struggling with debt and striving to remain competitive in the entertainment industry, Paramount's parent company, National Amusements, explored potential merger and acquisition opportunities for Paramount Global. Numerous prominent companies, such as Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. Discovery, Apollo Global Management, Warner Music Group, Allen Media Group, and Skydance Media, had indicated their interest in exploring potential business partnerships or purchasing the company.^[45][46][47]

After first coming to a merger deal with Skydance, Paramount and Skydance canceled the proposed merger on June 11 due to unsatisfactory conversations. Following a break in the talks, Skydance was able to reach a preliminary agreement on July 2, 2024, to perform a 3-way merger between it, National Amusements, and Paramount to establish what was then known as "New Paramount".^[48] After the merger closed, Skydance Media CEO David Ellison became the chairman and CEO of the combined company and Jeff Shell became the president.^[49]

Paramount said in February 2025, and May 2025, that it expected the transaction to close within the first half of the year, but it did not happen.^[50][51] With the deal not yet approved, the first automatic extension to July 7, 2025, went into effect on April 8, 2025,^[52][53] after which the second automatic extension to October 4, 2025 went into effect on July 7, 2025.^[54][55] The SEC and the European Commission (EC) approved the transaction in February 2025.^[56] On July 24, 2025, the FCC approved the merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media.^{[57][58][59][60]}

Merger restructuring

On August 4, 2025, Paramount Skydance announced some of its new leadership alongside Ellison and Shell, with Andy Gordon joining as COO and strategy officer; Cindy Holland leading streaming services Paramount+ and Pluto TV; Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein co-leading Paramount Pictures; and Paramount Global veteran George Cheeks leading television networks.^[61] It was also announced the same day that the company would comprise 3 major units: studios (consisting of Paramount Pictures, Skydance Pictures, Nickelodeon Movies and other divisions such as those for film, television and video games), direct-to-consumer (Paramount+ and Pluto TV) and television media (CBS, BET, MTV, Nickelodeon among others). It also announced the merger of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and Skydance Television into a revival of Paramount Television Studios to be headed by Matt Thunell. Oversight of the television units would be split, with Thunell heading the studios division (focusing on the streaming services) and George Cheeks overseeing production for the television media division (focusing on the linear networks), as well as South Park, which renewed its standing with Paramount in a deal worth $1.5 billion.^[62][63][64] Three months later in October following Paramount Skydance's relaunch of Paramount Television Studios, it was announced that Nickelodeon Group's live-action studio Nickelodeon/Awesomeness Live-Action aka Nickelodeon Productions and Awesomeness' production studio including Nickelodeon's & Awesomeness' production states was folded into the relaunched studio Paramount Television Studios, with the relaunched studio taking over Nickelodeon's current production state alongside Awesomeness' current productions, and would produce their future production slates beginning with the upcoming Victorious spin-off series Hollywood Arts which was originally ordered at Nickelodeon had moved to Netflix as its first Nickelodeon-branded series produced by the revived studio.^[65]

Paramount executives are looking to release twenty films per year.^[71][72] Cindy Holland, chairperson of direct-to-consumer, said, "We want to entertain all audiences around the world. On Paramount+ today, we have a really great foundation, which is the Taylor Sheridan universe. We also have incredible CBS next-day, live sports, a lot from the cable networks, franchises like Star Trek, so many series. We're seeking to expand that and make sure that we’re offering programming for everybody not just occasionally, not just for the one thing they came to watch but ultimately and hopefully a year round and a daily habit for all audiences."^[73] Streaming films will not be a priority per Ellison.^[74] Also that day, Shell announced $2 billion in cuts. "We do not want to be a company that has layoffs every quarter. So, it is important for us to get done what we're doing in one big thing and then be done with it," Shell said.^[3] On August 19, Paramount announced a four-year deal with Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of Stranger Things, for movies, television and streaming projects at Paramount+. The agreement will commence following the conclusion of their current deal with Netflix in April 2026.^[75][76][77]

On September 2, 2025, Paramount Pictures announced that they and Microsoft-owned Activision Blizzard had signed a deal that will see the studio develop, produce and distribute a live-action film based on the Call of Duty franchise, which Ellison, a long-time fan of the series, considered a "dream come true".^[78] On September 3, Paramount Pictures announced that they signed a first-look, multi-picture deal with Will Smith and his company Westbrook.

The division is also expected to collaborate with CBS Sports, but it will not be directly involved in live sports broadcasts. The division would be led by Skydance Sports chairman Jesse Sisgold.^{[83][84][85][86]} On September 16, Paramount Skydance added AI executive Dennis K. Cinelli to its board as an independent director, effective immediately. The appointment expands the body to 11 directors.^[87]

In others, we are phasing out roles that are no longer aligned with our evolving priorities and the new structure designed to strengthen our focus on growth ".^[101] Paramount announced anchors Dana Jacboson and Michelle Miller as well as producer Brian Applegate of CBS Saturday Morning would be a part of the 2,000 layoffs planned.^[102][103] The company announced the layoffs of motion picture divisions, including production, literary, marketing and music including executives Randy Spendlove, Bryan Oh, Geoff Stier, Andres Alvarez, Rachel Cadden, Christine Benitez, and Phil Cohen.

S. House of Representatives Jamie Raskin and Frank Pallone, the top two Democrats on the House Energy & Commerce Committee, said Paramount had not fully cooperated with their investigation in the settlement agreement between Skydance, Paramount Global, and President Trump. In August, they had requested documents from Paramount, communications with the Trump administration, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and internal communications concerning the merger between Skydance and Paramount.^[111][112]

On December 4, 2025, Paramount unveiled its TV Media leadership team. Under these changes, Laurel Weil would lead programming across the division.

Proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery

In September 2025, The Wall Street Journal and others reported that Paramount Skydance was weighing a takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, a deal that, unlike the Skydance–Paramount tie-up, was expected to sidestep Federal Communications Commission review because WBD holds no broadcast licenses.^[116] The idea drew immediate political scrutiny, with Senator Elizabeth Warren urging regulators to stop it,^[117] while price talk swung widely: early chatter reached about $70 billion,^[118] mid-month commentary pointed to the mid-$50 billions,^[119] and by September 19 reporting centered on scenarios "north of" $45 billion alongside a potential $22–$24 per-share offer structure that could be 70–80% cash, with support from Larry Ellison. By September 29, CNBC’s David Faber suggested a friendly agreement looked unlikely and that Paramount might need to take any bid directly to WBD shareholders.^{[120][121][122]}

Industry voices spent the month debating what such a combination would mean. UTA chief David Kramer called it a mixed prospect for Hollywood,^[123] and FX Networks chairman John Landgraf predicted that large-scale consolidation among legacy studios was essentially unavoidable.^[124] Strategically, observers noted the sheer scale on offer: Paramount Skydance's roughly 4,500-film (including the entire of Miramax, pre-2005 Dimension Films and pre-2011 DreamWorks Pictures libraries), 200,000-episode library (including the CBS/Paramount Television, Spelling Television and libraries from the cable networks alongside the pre-1973 programming libraries of NBC and ABC) alongside Warner Bros.' catalog of about 10,000 films (including the pre-April 1986 MGM, February 1952 – May 1986 United Artists and pre-May 1982 Orion Pictures libraries) and 120,000 episodes (including the Turner, HBO and Discovery legacy libraries).^{[125][126][127][128][129]} Much industry speculation centred around how this could change competition, and the line-up of streaming services such as Pluto TV.^[123][130] Financially, late-month research cautioned that even post-deal, most earnings power would still come from traditional TV: Bernstein Research estimated roughly 70% of EBITDA would be tied to linear networks, even as KPMG highlighted US content spend surpassing $200 billion and continuing to rise.^[131]

On October 2, 2025, CNBC speculated that their then-parent company, NBCUniversal, prior to its spin-off into Versant, could be the biggest wild card for the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery's assets.^[132] On October 13, 2025, Warner Bros. Discovery rejected a proposed first bid from Paramount Skydance, but Paramount Skydance is considering to raise their offer or go directly to Warner Bros. Discovery's shareholders.^[133] On October 21, the New York Post said that Warner Bros. Discovery had privately rejected a new $24-a-share bid by Paramount Skydance.^{[134][135][136]} On October 8, the New York Post reported that Paramount Skydance was in talks with major private equity firms, including Apollo Global Management (the company that owns Legendary Entertainment and Cox Media Group) to join its possible bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery which could cost upwards of $60 billion.^[137][138] On October 28, 2025, Paramount CEO David Ellison said that he plans to shut down HBO Max as a standalone streaming service, and merge it with Paramount+ if the merger goes through, following Bob Iger's plans to shut down Hulu and merge it with Disney+ in 2026 (Hulu has already replaced Star in international markets outside of the United States and Japan). Ellison also says that Paramount wanted to keep most of Warner Bros. Discovery intact.^[139]

On December 4, 2025, Paramount blamed Warner Bros. Discovery for orchestrating an unfair bidding process that favors Netflix.^[140] Netflix won the bidding war later that day and would begin exclusive deal talks.^[141]

On December 5, Netflix announced that they would be buying the Warner Bros. streaming and studio company for $72 billion after the split closes in the third quarter, valuing WBD at $82.7 billion. Although Netflix ultimately won the bidding process, the transaction was still subject to regulatory approval in multiple jurisdictions.^[142] Amid the ongoing antitrust review, reports indicated that Paramount Skydance might consider launching a hostile takeover bid should the approval process create an opening.^[143] Three days later, Paramount launched a hostile takeover bid of WBD for an enterprise value of $108.4 billion.^[144] Paramount argued its $30 per share all-cash offer was superior to the $27.75 per share offer from Netflix, and that a combination with Paramount faced lower regulatory hurdles.^[145] On December 11, Paramount Skydance was considering raising its takeover offer for Warner Bros. Discovery by as much as 10% as it plots its next move to break up a merger agreement with Netflix. The new offer of Warner Bros. for Paramount would now be $33 per share for $90 billion, while the new offer of Warner Bros. for Netflix would now be $30.75 per share for $86 billion.^[146] On December 17, WBD told its shareholders to reject Paramount's bid, instead proceeding with the Netflix acquisition.^[147]

On December 22, 2025, Warner Bros. Discovery's board reviewed an offer from tech tycoon Larry Ellison to personally guarantee Paramount Skydance's $78 billion hostile takeover bid – adding a fresh twist to a bidding war that has most recently favored Netflix, On the Money has learned.^[148]

On January 7, 2026, it was reported by Variety that Warner Bros. Discovery's board of directors had rejected the amended offer by Paramount Skydance to acquire the entire company, with the board writing in a SEC filing that they considered the Paramount Skydance offer to be of "insufficient value", and that the offer was "inadequate", as they believed the Netflix offer was of better value to their shareholders, with the board sticking with the Netflix offer for Warner Bros. Discovery's Streaming and Studios division.^[149][150]

On January 23, 2026, Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters Says Paramount’s WBD Bid ‘Doesn’t Pass the Sniff Test', but Netflix's WBD bid actually passed the Sniff Test. In fact, he said Paramount Skydance’s rival $108.4 billion all-cash bid for Warner Bros. Discovery is a smoke screen largely reliant on tech billionaire Larry Ellison, the father of Paramount CEO David Ellison, and tens of billions in debt. As of January 23, 2026, approximately 7% of WBD’s 2.5 billion outstanding shares have been tendered to the Paramount deal, which is set to expire on Feb. 20.^[151]

On February 5, 2026, Paramount CEO David Ellison published an open letter to the UK creative community outlining commitments related to the company’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). In the letter, Ellison pledged continued investment in content, a minimum 45-day theatrical window for films, the release of more than 30 cinema titles annually, and the preservation of HBO as an independent brand under Paramount’s ownership. Ellison criticized Netflix, arguing that its competing $83 billion bid for WBD could create a “monopolistic or dominant entity” and reduce marketplace competition. Netflix responded that its proposal was “pro-consumer, pro-innovation, pro-worker, pro-creator and pro-growth,” and said it was confident the deal would receive regulatory approval. The letter formed part of Paramount’s efforts to secure support from UK lawmakers and industry stakeholders as it pursued the takeover.^[152]

On February 10, 2026, Paramount Skydance sweetened its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) without increasing its $30-per-share offer, valued at $108.4 billion. The company offered a 25-cent per share quarterly “ticking fee,” equivalent to approximately $650 million in cash per quarter beginning in 2027 until the transaction closes. Paramount also agreed to cover the $2.8 billion termination fee WBD would owe Netflix if it withdrew from Netflix’s $82.7 billion agreement for WBD’s studio and streaming assets.

Additional measures included backstopping WBD’s planned debt exchange to eliminate a potential $1.5 billion bondholder fee and granting interim operating flexibility comparable to that negotiated with Netflix. Paramount stated it had complied with the U.S. Department of Justice’s second request, triggering a 10-day waiting period, secured foreign investment approval in Germany, and was in discussions with regulators in the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom.

Analysts described the revised proposal as increasing pressure on WBD but questioned whether it would be sufficient to win shareholder support. WBD’s board continued to back the Netflix deal, citing the opportunity for investors to retain a stake in a separately traded Discovery Global entity. WBD scheduled a special shareholder meeting to vote on the Netflix transaction, expected by April.

On the same day, activist investor Ancora Holdings disclosed a roughly $200 million stake in WBD and said it planned to oppose the Netflix transaction and support Paramount’s bid.^[153] On February 11, 2026, activist investor Ancora Alternatives LLC, a shareholder of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), said it would vote against WBD’s proposed transaction with Netflix, support Paramount Skydance’s rival bid, and consider launching a proxy fight if WBD’s board did not engage with Paramount.

In a presentation, Ancora argued that Paramount’s revised proposal could reasonably be expected to constitute a “Superior Proposal” under WBD’s merger agreement and urged the board to negotiate in good faith to maximize shareholder value. The firm criticized the board for entering into what it described as an inferior agreement with Netflix and warned it would seek to hold directors accountable at the company’s 2026 annual meeting if they refused to reconsider.WBD said it was reviewing Paramount’s amended offer, which included a 25-cent per share quarterly “ticking fee” for each quarter after December 31, 2026 that the transaction remains unclosed, funding of a $2.8 billion termination fee payable to Netflix if WBD terminates that agreement, and commitments related to debt financing costs and obligations. Analysts said the changes addressed many of the board’s previously stated concerns but did not guarantee shareholder approval. ^[154]

On February 13, 2026, Paramount Skydance has named Rene Augustine, a former Trump administration attorney, as its senior vice president of global public policy, according to a company memo seen by Reuters, amid an ongoing takeover battle for Warner Bros Discovery.^[155] Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Discovery, attracted the attention of activist investor Sachem Head Capital Management in the fourth quarter when the media and entertainment giant agreed to sell its streaming and studios business to Netflix, according to a regulatory filing on Friday. Sachem Head, one of last year's best-performing hedge funds, said in the Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it more than doubled its holding in Warner Bros. Discovery to own nearly 8 million shares at the end of the fourth quarter.^[156]

On February 15, 2026, Bloomberg reported that Warner Bros. Discovery is considering reopening sale talks with Paramount Skydance.^[157] On February 20, 2026, the company announced its bid had passed the second request review process undertaken by the Department of Justice, with the company saying "there was no statutory proposal to close down the acquisition".^[158]

On February 26, 2026, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that they found Paramount's offer of $31 per share was superior to the deal Netflix made.^[159] Shortly after, Netflix announced they were not going to raise their bid and pulled out, with Paramount emerging as the winner of the bidding war.^[160] On February 27, the studios revealed that the deal is worth $110 billion.^[161] According to David Zaslav, the acquisition is expected to close within 6-12 months, pending regulatory and shareholder approval.^[162]
