Paramount and California Attorney General Rob Bonta will hold a two-day settlement conference in late October to discuss resolving the state's lawsuit challenging Paramount's $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Bonta seeks structural remedies like asset sales, while Paramount has only offered behavioral concessions such as theatrical release commitments. Settlement talks have progressed slowly amid accusations of bad faith, though state officials including Governor Newsom have expressed interest in reaching a deal.
