Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery Merger Forms New Company Named SkydancePreviousNext

Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery have announced that their $110 billion merger will result in a combined company named Skydance, retaining the distinct identities of both studios. David Ellison, CEO of Paramount Skydance, will co-lead the new entity with Ynon Kreiz, focusing on long-term strategy and daily operations respectively. The merger, approved by a US judge after settling antitrust concerns, will unite major franchises and streaming platforms under Skydance while preserving editorial independence for news divisions like CNN and CBS News.
