On February 10, 2017, Kapital formed a joint venture{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2017/02/aaron-kaplan-kapital-entertainment-cbs-corporation-joint-venture-1201907592/|title=Aaron Kaplan's Kapital Entertainment & CBS Corporation Launch Joint Venture|last=Andreeva|first= Nellie|website=Deadline Hollywood|date=February 10, 2016|accessdate=February 10, 2017}} with CBS Corporation and acquired a 50% ownership stake. CBS will also provide Co-financing for Kapital projects and will serve as worldwide distributor. However, Kapital will continue to operate as it had previously as an independent production company that is completely separate from CBS Television Studios (later CBS Studios) and CBS Television Network and it will have no first-look or any other agreements with either of them. In 2019, CBS Corporation merged with Viacom to form ViacomCBS, now Paramount Global.
