Skydance Corporation has officially confirmed that HBO Max and Paramount Plus will be offered together in a single streaming bundle starting in early 2027. The company disclosed the plan in its third-quarter shareholder letter on November 9, 2026, following its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery in October.
The bundle will give subscribers access to both streaming platforms at a discounted price, though Skydance has not revealed the cost or whether the services will eventually merge into a single app. The company described the bundle as its first step toward bringing the two services together.
"Our first step toward bringing together Paramount Plus and HBO Max is to offer them in a single bundle. Starting in early 2027, consumers will be able to subscribe to both world-class streaming services at an even greater value," reads the shareholder letter.
According to Skydance, Paramount Plus, HBO, and HBO Max collectively have 203 million subscribers worldwide, though that figure does not account for overlapping subscriptions. The letter highlighted recent successes including Lanterns and House of the Dragon season 3 on HBO Max, averaging 22 million and 42 million global viewers respectively, and Lioness and MobLand on Paramount Plus.
Skydance said it expects to align the backend systems for Paramount Plus and HBO Max within a year of closing the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition. For now, subscribers can expect the two services to remain available separately.
The bundle marks the first major streaming change following the October merger between Skydance, Paramount, and Warner Bros. Discovery. It brings together two large streaming libraries under one company while the longer process of potentially combining the platforms into a single service continues.
