Just a week after the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger concluded, Discovery+ has already increased its prices under the Skydance ownership. The ad-supported plan will now set subscribers back $6.99, and the ad-free option will cost an additional $2 per month, totaling $11.99. These price adjustments will take effect on Tuesday for new customers, while existing subscribers will have a 30-day grace period before their subsequent billing cycle.
The platform's content lineup remains robust, featuring popular shows like "90 Day Fiancé," "Sister Wives," "Ghost Adventures," "Expedition Unknown," and "Deadliest Catch," alongside offerings from HGTV, the Food Network, TLC, ID, Animal Planet, and the Magnolia Network. Notably, Skydance now oversees Paramount+, HBO Max, and Pluto TV, in addition to Discovery+.
The Direct-to-Consumer division is overseen by HBO's Casey Bloys as chief content officer and WBD's JB Perrette as chief business officer. Skydance announced last week that the merger would usher in a new era of innovation, with a focus on enhancing its direct-to-consumer streaming products, ultimately aiming to unify all offerings into a single service in the future. Discovery+ made its debut in March 2020.
