A 12-day jury trial is set to start March 2, 2027, for California’s antitrust lawsuit against the proposed merger of Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, a federal judge decided Aug. 4.
District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín of the Northern District of California chose the date after considering conflicting requests from both sides, she said.
The $110 billion studio deal is temporarily on hold after the judge issued an order in July preventing the companies from finalizing the transaction. Paramount agreed following the order to hold off on the acquisition for several months.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
