Discovery, which would combine HBO Max and Paramount+ into a single streaming platform, cleared its last major obstacle on September 21, 2026, when Paramount settled the antitrust suit brought by twelve state attorneys general.

Paramount's chief executive said the deal would close about two weeks after the settlement. The antitrust trial previously scheduled for March 2027 is no longer expected to proceed. Pricing for any combined service has not been announced.
