In plain English
Warner Bros. Discovery is the studio-and-streaming giant formed when AT&T's WarnerMedia merged with Discovery in 2022 — it makes films and TV (Warner Bros., DC, HBO), runs the HBO Max streaming service (~132M subscribers) and owns a wall of cable channels (CNN, TNT, Discovery, Food Network). After a planned split into two companies and a Netflix deal both fell through, WBD agreed in early 2026 to be bought whole by Paramount Skydance for ~$110.9B ($31/share) — a takeover cleared by the US DOJ in June 2026 and due to close in Q3 2026.
