Paramount Skydance to Cut 2,000 Jobs Amid Cost Savings
Newly merged media giant Paramount Skydance is preparing to cut approximately 2,000 jobs in the United States starting October 27, marking one of the largest workforce reductions in Hollywood this year. The layoffs are part of CEO David Ellison’s $2 billion cost-cutting strategy following the company’s high-profile $8.4 billion merger in August 2025.
