California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 11 other states have filed a lawsuit to block the merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, citing antitrust violations in the film and pay TV markets. The combined company would control nearly one-third of films and basic cable programming, raising concerns about market dominance. Bonta emphasized the lawsuit focuses on specific markets, rejecting discussions on unrelated topics like streaming or foreign regulators. Paramount has delayed the deal to June 2027, with a trial scheduled for March, but both sides remain open to settlement talks.
