Paramount Layoffs Begin under CEO David Ellison and new Owners.
October 29, 2025 - Ellison assumed control of Paramount in August, and has spent the past few months familiarizing himself with Paramount’s workings and figuring out where resources need to be shifted around. The executive is set to hold his first earnings call as CEO on Nov. 10, after taking over the company back in August. That call is poised to be a big one, with Ellison and his senior leadership team expected to give their financial outlook and strategy for the company. At a press conference Aug. 7, the morning the Skydance-Paramount deal closed, president Jeff Shell told reporters that he expected to make the cuts as swiftly as possible, rather than drag them out.
