Paramount Skydance has reached an agreement with a coalition of state attorneys general to postpone the Warner Bros. Discovery merger until after an antitrust trial.

The company entered a joint stipulation in the federal case on Friday afternoon agreeing not to close the $111 billion transaction until five days after a trial is held or June 1, 2027, whichever is earlier. No trial date has been set.
