This market will resolve according to the first entity that acquires control of Warner Bros. Discovery's studios and streaming businesses by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. Transactions that involve only Warner Bros. Discovery's linear television networks, news channels, or other non-studio, non-streaming assets, without also transferring control of its studios and streaming businesses, will not qualify. Announcements of non-finalized arrangements — including, the currently announced Netflix agreement to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s studios and streaming businesses — will not qualify. If no entity acquires control of Warner Bros. Discovery's studios and streaming businesses by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "None by June 30 2027". Resolution will be based on by a consensus of reporting.Paramount's recent settlement with a coalition of states resolved the final antitrust challenge to its $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, including commitments on film releases, production spending, and editorial oversight for news assets. This followed shareholder approval, DOJ clearance, and multiple international regulatory nods, eliminating major obstacles and enabling an expected close within weeks. Trader consensus heavily favors Paramount as the acquirer, consistent with the bidding process where it outpaced competitors like Netflix, which withdrew earlier. While a judge must still approve the settlement and late complications remain possible, the cleared path supports the strong implied probability of completion well ahead of the June 2027 horizon.
