Skydance announced the news in its first earnings report since Paramount bought WBD. David Ellison's company is also combining the Paramount+ and HBO Max tech platforms so it can create a "unified product." The Paramount+ and HBO Max marriage is around the corner. Skydance will bundle the streamers in early 2027, the company said Monday as it shared its third-quarter earnings — its first report since Paramount bought Warner Bros. Discovery in early October. It's unclear how much the HBO Max-Paramount+ bundle will cost. Skydance said it would share more details on the bundle and "its streaming roadmap" in the coming months.
