the two companies signed in 2019. The company alleges that Paramount breached their contract on multiple levels, costing WBD “hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.”
The suit places the total damages at $200 million, with causes of action including breach of contract , unjust enrichment , and tortious interference with contract deal, HBO Max was still owned by AT&T. The deal granted HBO Max the rights to’s massive library, as well as new episodes. Warner Bros. Discovery now alleges that rather than deliver on its promise of three new seasons, each spanning 10 episodes, Paramount delivered only 16 episodes in total.
A copy of Warner Bros. Discovery’s complaint reviewed by The Daily Beast alleges that once Paramount chose to launch Paramount+, “its priorities changed drastically, and Defendants embarked on a multi-year scheme to unfairly take advantage of Warner/HBO by breaching its contract and stealing its content.
A representative for Paramount Global told Indiewire that the company looks forward to proving that Warner Bros. Discovery’s claims “are without merit.” The statement adds: “We also note that Paramount continues to adhere to the parties’ contract by delivering new South Park episodes to HBO Max, despite the fact that Warner Bros. Discovery has failed and refused to pay license fees that it owes to Paramount for episodes that have already been delivered, and which HBO Max continues to stream.”
