Skydance, the media giant formed from Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, will introduce a joint subscription bundle for Paramount+ and HBO Max in early 2027. The company revealed the plan on Monday in a letter to shareholders ahead of its third-quarter earnings call. Skydance has not yet detailed bundle pricing or whether ad-supported tiers will be included alongside standard ad-free subscriptions. [2][3]
The bundled offering is designed as an interim step before the services fully merge into a single app, a strategy outlined earlier this year by Skydance CEO David Ellison. Skydance told investors that customers subscribing to the bundle should expect a new movie to release between both platforms roughly every two weeks on average. [2][3]
The streaming rollout comes amid a wider post-merger restructuring across Skydance, which formally organized into Skydance Studios, Skydance Direct-to-Consumer, and Skydance TV. Consolidation has also led to immediate cutbacks; the company confirmed layoffs inside its Skydance Games unit, saying it made the difficult decision to reorganize and scale down certain projects.

HBO Max and Paramount+ customers will soon be able to pay for one subscription that unlocks both services. That’s according to Skydance, the company that came out of Paramount’s Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition.
