Will my HBO Max, Paramount+ and Discovery+ subscriptions change after the $111B merger?

By Adam Neely · Oct 7, 2026
Quick answer: The services are expected to unify under Skydance, but subscribers should wait for official plan, price, and migration details and ignore payment-update phishing.

The services are expected to unify under Skydance, but subscribers should wait for official plan, price, and migration details and ignore payment-update phishing.

Nothing should change the moment the merger closes. Paramount’s $111 billion Warner deal creates Skydance, and the company says HBO Max, Paramount+, and Discovery+ will eventually become one service, but it has not yet announced the final plans, prices, migration dates, or device support. Keep your current app and billing method until an official in-app notice or account page tells you otherwise.

Download or note your watchlist if it matters to you, and check whether a subscription comes through Apple, Google, Roku, or a cable provider before changing anything. Treat any email demanding an urgent “payment update” as suspicious: open the app or type the official service address yourself instead of using the message link.
