Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery antitrust trial set for March 2027

Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin has issued a preliminary scheduling order setting the antitrust trial over the proposed Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger for March 2027. The trial is expected to last a total of 12 days, which is considerably later than Paramount had hoped. The delay could significantly affect the timeline for the planned merger of the two media giants.
