Paramount CEO David Ellison stated the company submitted six proposals over 12 weeks that Warner Bros. Discovery never meaningfully engaged with, and argued the Netflix transaction would create a company with 43% of global subscription video on demand subscribers, raising competition concerns.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the Netflix deal could be a problem because of market share concerns and indicated he would be involved in the regulatory decision, while the Senate is preparing for an antitrust hearing to examine the proposed transaction between the two companies.

Paramount's tender offer, approved unanimously by its board, is scheduled to expire at 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 8, 2026 unless extended, and if Warner Bros. Discovery walks away from the Netflix deal to accept another offer, it would owe Netflix $2.8 billion under the existing agreement terms.
