The acquisition of Warner Brothers by Paramount is being delayed by an antitrust lawsuit from twelve U.S. states. According to various sources, this trial is not expected to take place until March 2027, extending the period during which legal disputes will have to be resolved.

The wait until the hearing could have financial implications for Paramount. Reports suggest that the delay in the deal could lead to substantial costs, thereby jeopardizing the entire acquisition process.
