Skydance Plans Paramount and HBO Max Bundle for Early 2027

Published 9 November 2026

Skydance plans to offer Paramount and HBO Max together in a streaming bundle beginning in early 2027, giving subscribers access to both services through one subscription. The company announced the timing in a letter to shareholders as it outlined an initial step toward bringing the streaming businesses together.

Skydance described the bundle as the first step in that process. It has not announced the price, available subscription tiers or whether the package will include ad-supported options. The company said it would share more details on the offer and its streaming plans in the coming months.

The planned bundle does not itself combine the services into one platform. In the shareholder letter, Skydance said it expects to align their backend systems within a year of the acquisition’s closing and aims to deliver a unified product. The company did not give a launch date for a single service or say whether the two brands will eventually be retired.

Skydance said it would phase in changes based on consumer feedback. It also said it will stop disclosing subscriber counts, shifting instead to milestones and performance indicators such as engagement.

The bundle follows Skydance’s...
