Summary
Paramount’s mega-merger with Warner Bros. Discovery is under fire as California’s AG and 12 states sue to block it, calling it an antitrust threat that could crush Hollywood jobs and hurt creators. The Writers Guild joins the fight, warning the combined giant would choke work opportunities and suppress wages. Paramount’s pushed back, delaying the deal until June 2027 or a court ruling, framing it as a chance to prove the merger benefits competition and creators — backed by global approvals. Warner Bros. stays silent. AG Rob Bonta calls it a win for democracy and entertainment, vowing to keep the case alive in court.
