1912–1986

Further information: Paramount Pictures § History, Gulf and Western Industries, and Viacom (1952–2005)

Paramount Pictures was founded in 1912 as the Famous Players Film Company.[8] CBS was founded in 1927, and Paramount Pictures held a 49% ownership stake in from 1929 to 1932.[9][10]

In 1952, CBS formed CBS Television Film Sales, a division which handled broadcast syndication rights for CBS's library of network-owned television series.[11][12][13] This division was renamed CBS Films in 1958[14][15] and again renamed CBS Enterprises Inc. on December 1, 1967.[16][17] It was renamed Viacom (an acronym of Video and Audio Communications) in 1970.[18] In 1971, this syndication division was spun off amid new FCC rules forbidding television networks from owning syndication companies (these rules were eventually abolished completely in 1993).[19]

Meanwhile, Paramount Pictures was acquired by Gulf and Western Industries in 1966, which then re-branded itself as Paramount Communications in 1989.[20]

1986–2005

In 1986, Viacom purchased MTV Networks and Showtime/The Movie Channel Inc. from Warner Communications and American Express.[21] In 1987, a majority stake in Viacom was acquired by theater operator company National Amusements.[22]

Viacom then purchased a 50.1% stake in Paramount Communications in February 1994 for $9.75 billion, following a five-month battle with shopping channel QVC. The merger was completed in July.[23][24][25] In 1999, Viacom made its biggest acquisition to date by announcing plans to merge with its former parent CBS Corporation (the renamed Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which had merged with CBS in 1995). The merger was completed in 2000, resulting in CBS reuniting with its former syndication division.[26][27]

2005–2019

Further information: Split of CBS Corporation and Viacom, Viacom (2005–2019), CBS Corporation, and Skydance Media

On December 31, 2005, Viacom was split into two companies: the second incarnation of CBS Corporation, the former's corporate successor, and the second incarnation of Viacom, which was formed as a spin-off.[27][28]

Skydance Media was founded in 2006 by David Ellison.[29] In 2009, Skydance and Paramount Pictures signed a five-year co-financing, production and distribution agreement, with Paramount holding an additional option of distribution.[29] That deal would later be extended twice in 2013 and 2017.[30][31] In 2024, The Nacelle Company acquired the rights to make Star Trek action figures for the 60th anniversary of the original series. The action figures will start to debut in late 2025 in waves.[32]

History

Formation

Further information: Merger of Skydance Media and Paramount Global

In 2023, after grappling with debt and striving to remain competitive in the entertainment industry, Paramount's parent company, National Amusements, explored potential merger and acquisition opportunities for Paramount Global. Numerous prominent companies, such as Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. Discovery, Apollo Global Management, Warner Music Group, Allen Media Group, and Skydance Media, had indicated their interest in exploring potential business partnerships or purchasing the company.[33][34][35]

After first coming to a merger deal with Skydance, Paramount and Skydance canceled the proposed merger on June 11 due to unsatisfactory conversations. Following a break in the talks, Skydance was able to reach a preliminary agreement on July 2, 2024, to perform a 3-way merger between it, National Amusements, and Paramount to establish what was then known as "New Paramount".[36] After the merger closed, Skydance Media CEO David Ellison became the chairman and CEO of the combined company and Jeff Shell became the president.[37]

Paramount said in February 2025, and May 2025, that it expected the transaction to close within the first half of the year, but it did not happen.[38][39] With the deal not yet approved, the first automatic extension to July 7, 2025, went into effect on April 8, 2025,[40][41] after which the second automatic extension to October 4, 2025 went into effect on July 7, 2025.[42][43] The SEC and the European Commission (EC) approved the transaction in February 2025.[44] On March 10, 2025, Skydance Media filed a letter with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about Project Rise Partners and concerning its bid for Paramount after the 45-day "go shop" period in the summer of 2024.[45] In late March 2025, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr announced that companies wishing to merge should eliminate policies aimed at promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).[46]

On July 22, 2025, it was reported that Oracle Corporation was in talks with Skydance Media for a $100 million-per-year contract to provide cloud software once the latter's acquisition of Paramount Global is completed.[47] On July 24, the FCC approved the merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media with the merger set to be complete by August 7.[48] Numerous public reports cited a potential quid pro quo whereby Paramount/CBS agreed to pay $16 million to end a lawsuit filed on behalf of President Donald Trump to ensure government approval of the merger.[49][50][51] Similar public reports also indicated another potential quid pro quo whereby CBS would terminate the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, to ensure Federal approval of the merger.[52][53][54] CBS executives denied both publicly reported claims, and insisted the 2026 ending of the Late Show franchise was purely based on a financial decision.[55][56][57]

Merger restructuring

On August 4, Paramount Skydance announced some of its new leadership alongside Ellison and Shell, with Andy Gordon joining as COO and strategy officer; Cindy Holland leading streaming services Paramount+ and Pluto TV; Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein co-leading Paramount Pictures; and Paramount Global veteran George Cheeks leading television networks.[58] It was also announced the same day that the company would comprise of 3 major units: studios (consisting of Paramount Pictures, Skydance Pictures, Nickelodeon Movies and other divisions such as those for film, television and video games), direct-to-consumer (Paramount+ and Pluto TV) and TV media (CBS, BET, MTV, Nickelodeon among others). It also announced the merger of MTV Entertainment Studios and Skydance Television into a revival of Paramount Television Studios to be headed by Matt Thunell. Oversight of the television units would be split, with Thunell heading the studios division (focusing on the streaming services) and George Cheeks overseeing production for the TV media division (focusing on the linear networks), as well as South Park, which renewed its standing with Paramount in a deal worth $1.5 billion.[59][60][61] On August 5, Paramount Skydance announced layoffs of around 1,000 employees and a slashing of $2 billion in operating costs, alongside interest in a merger of Paramount+ and Pluto TV with assist from Oracle Corporation.[62] Following the company's founding, Jeff Shell announced that Paramount Skydance was exploring a sale of the NAI cinemas.[63] Shortly after the sale, the National Football League acquired a stake of Paramount Skydance.[64]

On August 8, 2025, Paramount announced that they would be based in the Paramount Pictures lot in Los Angeles, departing from One Astor Plaza for the first time since the first Viacom moved there in 1994.[1][65]

On August 11, Paramount announced a seven-year deal with TKO Group Holdings where Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will be exclusively distributed in the United States. UFC's 13 marquee numbered events and 30 "Fight Nights" will air on its streaming platform, Paramount+, with select numbered events also set to simulcast on CBS starting in 2026.[66][67]

On August 13, Paramount announced that Top Gun 3, Star Trek, and other projects were now priorities. Paramount executives are looking to release twenty films per year.[68][69] Cindy Holland, chairperson of direct-to-consumer, said, "We want to entertain all audiences around the world. On Paramount+ today, we have a really great foundation, which is the Taylor Sheridan universe. We also have incredible CBS next-day, live sports, a lot from the cable networks, franchises like Star Trek, so many series. We’re seeking to expand that and make sure that we’re offering programming for everybody not just occasionally, not just for the one thing they came to watch but ultimately and hopefully a year round and a daily habit for all audiences."[70] Streaming films will not be a priority per Ellison.[71] Also that day, Shell announced $2 billion in cuts. "We do not want to be a company that has layoffs every quarter. So, it is important for us to get done what we’re doing in one big thing and then be done with it," Shell said.[3]

On August 19, 2025, Paramount announced a four-year deal with Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of Stranger Things, for movies, television and streaming projects at Paramount+. The agreement will commence following the conclusion of their current deal with Netflix in April 2026.[72][73][74]
