HBO Max and Paramount+ are getting a joint bundle. Skydance, the company that came out of Paramount's Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition, says customers will be able to pay for one subscription that unlocks both services. It promises the package early next year.
What is known
- The bundle combines HBO Max and Paramount+ in one subscription.
- Skydance says it will arrive early next year.
- For now, the services look set to be sold separately, with an option to bundle and save.
- HBO Max can already be bundled with Disney+ and Hulu.
The Disney+ and Hulu package may not last. 9to5Mac expects it could go away in the future. The outlet also notes that a single service holding all the content from both brands would make sense over time.
What is not known
Skydance has not said what the bundle will cost. It also has not said whether it will include ad-supported options. Both HBO Max and Paramount+ sell cheaper plans with ads today, along with premium plans without ads. Whether the bundle follows that pattern is unclear.
What to do
If you pay for both services, one bundle could trim your bill. Without a price, there is no way to know how much. Keep your current plans for now and check the numbers once Skydance shares them.
The takeawayA combined HBO Max and Paramount+ bundle is due early next year, but wait for the price before you change any plan.
