South Park Secures Massive 50-Episode Deal, Paramount+ Becomes Exclusive Streaming Home
Trey Parker and Matt Stone have officially concluded their negotiations with Paramount Global, signing a landmark five-year overall deal that guarantees the future of their iconic animated series, ‘South Park,’ with an order for 50 new episodes.
This monumental agreement solidifies Paramount+ as the exclusive streaming destination for all 26 previous seasons of ‘South Park’ for the first time. Under the terms, new episodes will continue to air on Comedy Central, becoming available on Paramount+ the day after their broadcast premiere.
Reports preceding the announcement indicated the deal could be valued at approximately $1.5 billion over the five-year period, underscoring the immense value Paramount Global places on the franchise. Series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone expressed their gratitude and commitment, with Parker stating, “We are grateful for this opportunity and deeply honored by the trust placed in us.” Stone added, “We want to thank Chris McCarthy and Keyes Hill-Edgar for years of great partnership and are looking forward to continuing to make ‘South Park’ for the next five years.”
The extension follows a period of intense negotiations and comes just as Season 27 of ‘South Park’ debuted on July 23. Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global, lauded Parker and Stone, calling them “singular, creative forces whose fearless humor and boundary pushing storytelling have made ‘South Park’ one of the most beloved and enduring series ever – more popular today than at any point in its history, and one of the most valuable TV franchises in the world.”
