SkyShowtime, the European streaming service co-owned by Comcast and Paramount Skydance, could be shuttered.

This was the warning in a letter from the board of the joint venture to SkyShowtime CEO Monty Sarhan, which said a “review of strategic options for the business” had begun. Sarhan subsequently shared the letter — which has been seen by Variety — with staff at the company.
