Skydance plans a combined Paramount+ and HBO Max streamer for early 2027
The company told shareholders the merged service would come at one price. It did not give the price.
What did Skydance announce?
Skydance said on Monday, November 9, 2026, that it plans to launch a combined Paramount+ and HBO Max streaming service as soon as early 2027, according to Variety, which reported the plan from a letter to shareholders.
How much will it cost?
No price has been announced. The company described the combined service as a single subscription at a better value than the two apps separately, but gave no number.
What happens to current subscribers?
The report does not say how existing Paramount+ or HBO Max subscriptions will move to the new service. Until the company publishes those details, current plans and prices stay as they are.
What does it mean for your streaming budget?
Anyone paying for both services today is the most likely winner, since one bill could replace two. People who only want one of the two catalogs should watch whether the standalone apps stay available after the launch. That detail will decide whether this is a discount or a forced upgrade.
