TLDR
A September 25 post says Paramount reached a settlement on September 21, 2026, with a 12-state coalition that sued to block the $110 billion Paramount Skydance–Warner Bros. Discovery merger on antitrust grounds. The deal was not yet finalized, the post says. Separately, a Zoom meeting attendee said on September 24 that attorneys for California and Paramount affirmed all parties’ support for a proposed consent decree. The attendee predicted Judge Martínez-Olguín would approve the merger, but questioned whether that would happen before “ticking fees” kick in for Paramount on October 1, 2026.
