Summary · why it matters

The combined company formed by the $110 billion merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. will be named Skydance, Paramount CEO David Ellison announced. Ellison said the name was chosen to preserve the distinct identities and legacies of both Paramount and Warner Bros. while giving the combined company an identity of its own. Skydance is the production company Ellison founded in 2006 and merged with Paramount in 2025. On Wednesday, Paramount named Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz as co-CEO of the new company alongside Ellison, and Bloomberg reported the merger is expected to be finalized next week. The press release announcing Kreiz said the combined company will be guided by four strategic priorities: winning in content, becoming the most technologically capable media company, maximizing operational efficiencies, and earning trust.
