List of libraries owned by Paramount Skydance

This is a list of content libraries and catalogs owned by Paramount Skydance Corporation.[1]

Library size

In 2019, CBS and Viacom re-merged to form ViacomCBS (later known as Paramount Global), and the overall combined library was estimated to have 3,600+ film titles and 140,000+ television episodes, including the pre-1973 content programming libraries of CBS' rivals NBC and ABC.[2] In 2020, the library acquired an extra 700 films, after ViacomCBS bought a 49% stake in Miramax.[3][4] By the time Paramount Global's merger with Skydance Media was announced in 2024, the library was estimated to have 4,000 to 4,500 films and 200,000 television episodes.[5][6] Roughly 70% of the films were titles which Paramount had acquired the rights to.[7][8]
