Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery will be known as Skydance once their merger is complete. The new name was announced by CEO David Ellison on social media.

Ellison stated that Skydance will be a "creative-first home for bold, quality storytelling." He also mentioned that the goal was to equip the iconic studios with a more powerful engine without diminishing their individual brands.
