A federal judge has set a March 2027 trial date for the antitrust challenges to Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The trial timeline is another setback for Paramount, which had wanted to complete the merger this summer.
Antitrust Challenges
Facing a pair of antitrust lawsuits, Paramount agreed to hold off until a trial takes place. In a court filing last week, Paramount pushed to have the trial in November; a coalition of state attorneys general challenging the merger proposed an April start date.
On Tuesday, Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin said the trial will begin March 2 and run for 12 court days.
