Two streaming services for the price of one: HBO Max and Paramount+ will be combined into a shared subscription in 2027

The joint plan will be the first step toward combining the two streaming services following the merger of Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount.

Skydance will offer access to Paramount+ and HBO Max under a single subscription in early 2027. The company announced this in a letter to shareholders a month after the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery:

“Our first step toward uniting Paramount+ and HBO Max is to offer them in a single bundle. Starting in early 2027, viewers will be able to subscribe to both services on more favorable terms.”

The exact launch date and price of the joint subscription have not yet been disclosed. By October 2027, Skydance expects to migrate both services to a shared technical platform in order to create a single streaming service in the future.

At the same time, the company has not yet clarified what will happen to the existing subscription bundle for HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu.
