HBO Max and Paramount+ Bundle to Launch in Early 2027
Skydance CEO David Ellison confirmed the bundle in a shareholder letter released alongside the company's third-quarter results.
Skydance CEO David Ellison has confirmed that a bundle combining HBO Max and Paramount+ will launch in early 2027, according to Deadline. The timing was disclosed in a letter to shareholders published alongside the company's third-quarter results.
In the same letter, the company said it expects continued strong direct-to-consumer revenue growth in the fourth quarter. It also projected that by 2030 a meaningful majority of its revenue and profit will come from streaming and studios businesses rather than television.
Merger context
The announcement follows the closing in early October 2026 of the $110 billion merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery into Skydance. Warner Bros. Discovery had previously bundled HBO Max with Disney+ and Hulu, an early example of rival streaming services teaming up on a package.
Neither Skydance nor Paramount has given a specific launch date beyond early 2027, and no pricing for the combined offering was disclosed.
