Paramount has reached a settlement with 12 state attorneys general, removing a major obstacle to its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The agreement, reported by multiple sources, resolves an antitrust lawsuit that had threatened to delay the merger until mid-2027 and cost the company hundreds of millions in fees. According to the proposed consent decree filed with the court, the settlement includes requirements aimed at addressing competitive concerns. The deal paves the way for the merger to proceed, allowing Paramount to complete its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The settlement was reached after negotiations between Paramount's owners and the state attorneys general, who had previously opposed the merger on antitrust grounds.
