A coalition of states led by California had challenged the deal, raising concerns over competition across film and television.
Paramount Skydance has settled a lawsuit with dozens of US states, paving the way for its $110bn (£82.8bn) merger with Warner Bros Discovery.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta said state officials agreed to terms after securing commitments to protect competition across film and television, and broadcasting.
To prevent the studio from fulfilling its annual quota with low-budget or automated content, Bonta said there were strict guardrails against "AI-generated" films.
