Paramount Skydance Corp. began a planned round of job cuts involving 1,000 workers on Wednesday as part of an effort to slash $2 billion in costs following its August merger with Skydance Media. More cuts are expected at a later date.

The company announced the start of the reductions in a memo to employees Wednesday reviewed by Bloomberg.
