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 Skydance secured overwhelming trader consensus for closing the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition after settling the final major antitrust suit with a dozen states on September 21, 2026. The agreement imposes a five-year consent decree with production spending and news independence commitments but avoids divestitures or structural remedies, following earlier DOJ, EU, and shareholder approvals plus financing backed by the Ellison family. Netflix and Comcast bids fell away months earlier amid regulatory and valuation gaps. With closure now projected for early October 2026, the slim odds for any other buyer or a missed June 2027 deadline rest on remote risks such as unforeseen financing shortfalls, new litigation, or material adverse changes that could still derail completion.
