A dozen state attorneys general have filed an antitrust lawsuit to block the proposed merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).

Paramount, however, argues that the merger will create a stronger company better positioned to compete in the media landscape, particularly against dominant streaming services. AI
