Tolv amerikanska delstater stämde Paramount för att stoppa köpet av Warner Bros på grund av oro för minskad konkurrens och jobbförluster.
Nu har Paramount nått en förlikning med de 12 amerikanska delstater som stämde bolaget i ett försök att hindra köpet av Warner Bros.
En genomförd affär skulle innebära att bolag som HBO, DC Comics, CNN och CBS hamnar under samma ägare. Kritiken grundade sig i en oro att konkurrensen på film- och tv-marknaden skulle minska och att jobben skulle bli färre.
I förlikningen lovar Paramount att man ska satsa på amerikansk filmproduktion och att man bland annat ska spendera mer pengar på produktion i Kalifornien.
Affären beräknas vara värd 110 miljarder dollar, inklusive skulder, och om köpet går igenom beskrivs det som en av de största medieaffärerna genom tiderna.
