Paramount agrees to delay Warner Bros. merger until June 2027

The companies agreed to a temporary freeze on the deal, with the timeline shifting if a court issues a ruling before the deadline in related litigation.

Paramount has agreed to delay the proposed Warner Bros. merger for months, according to the New York Times Business.

The companies agreed to a proposed freeze on the transaction until June 2027, unless a judge rules earlier in a lawsuit that seeks to block the deal.

The agreement means the merger will remain paused through the deadline unless the court action results in a ruling before then.
