This market will resolve according to the first entity that acquires control of Warner Bros. Discovery's studios and streaming businesses by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. Transactions that involve only Warner Bros. Discovery's linear television networks, news channels, or other non-studio, non-streaming assets, without also transferring control of its studios and streaming businesses, will not qualify. Announcements of non-finalized arrangements — including, the currently announced Netflix agreement to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s studios and streaming businesses — will not qualify. If no entity acquires control of Warner Bros. Discovery's studios and streaming businesses by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "None by June 30 2027". Resolution will be based on by a consensus of reporting.Paramount Skydance's $111 billion agreement to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, reached in February 2026 after an auction process that sidelined earlier interest from Netflix and Comcast, drives the current market positioning. Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders approved the full-company transaction in April, and the U.S. Department of Justice cleared antitrust review on June 12, removing a major hurdle and supporting expectations for closing in the third quarter or by mid-2027. Limited remaining reviews and standard conditions sustain the modest probability assigned to no completion by the June 30, 2027 cutoff, while the near-zero odds for alternative buyers reflect their withdrawal from the process.
