Skydance confirms HBO Max and Paramount+ ‘value’ bundle plan

HBO Max and Paramount+ customers will soon be able to pay for one subscription that unlocks both services. That’s according to Skydance, the company that came out of Paramount’s Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition.

HBO Max and Paramount+ will be bundled together starting early 2027

Skydance announced plans for the HBO Max plus Paramount+ bundle today, promising to deliver the package deal early next year.

“Our first step toward bringing together Paramount+ and HBO Max is to offer them in a single bundle,” Skydance shared. “Starting in early 2027, consumers will be able to subscribe to both world-class streaming services at an even greater value.”

Skydance doesn’t say how much the bundle will cost or if it will have ad-supported options. Both HBO Max and Paramount+ currently offer cheaper subscriptions with ads as well as premium ad-free options.

HBO Max can also be bundled with Disney+ and Hulu today, though this is a package offering that we can probably expect to go away in the future.

Ultimately, it would make sense for Skydance to package a unified service that includes all of the content from both services. For now, at least, it sounds like the short-term plan is to sell the two services separately with an option to bundle and save.
