Skydance Is Raising The Price of Its Discovery+ Streaming Service Just One Week After Buying It
The ad-supported plan rose to $6.99 a month and the ad-free plan to $11.99 as new owner Skydance moved quickly on pricing.

- Skydance Chairman and CEO David Ellison has outlined plans to merge HBO Max and Paramount+ into a single application over time, though executives have not clarified whether Discovery+ will remain independent.
- As of August 2026, Antenna estimated Discovery+ has 4.9 million U.S. subscribers accessing unscripted programming like "90 Day Fiancé" and "Deadliest Catch" alongside lifestyle content from HGTV and Food Network.
