One bundle will pair HBO Max with Paramount+ in early 2027, Skydance confirms value plan, 9to5Mac reports
Bundle planned for 2027
Skydance announced plans for a joint HBO Max and Paramount+ subscription, with the package expected to arrive in early 2027. The company said it would be the first step toward bringing the services together.
Skydance said subscribers would be able to get both streaming services in one bundle at greater value. It did not provide a launch date beyond early 2027.
Price and ads not announced
The company has not said how much the bundle will cost or whether it will offer an ad-supported tier. Both HBO Max and Paramount+ currently have lower-priced plans with ads, as well as premium ad-free subscriptions.
The announcement does not describe a unified service combining all content from both platforms. The near-term approach appears to be two separate services with an option to bundle them.
Other bundle may change
HBO Max is currently available in a package with Disney+ and Hulu. The report says that package could go away in the future, though no timing or change was confirmed.
