Kendrick Lamar and South Park Creators' Comedy Film Delayed to 2026

The untitled live-action comedy, written by Vernon Chatman, faces a release shift due to scheduling conflicts with Lamar's global tour and South Park commitments.

Paramount Pictures has postponed the release of the untitled comedy film from July 4, 2025, to March 20, 2026.
The delay is attributed to Kendrick Lamar's Grand National stadium tour and Trey Parker and Matt Stone's ongoing South Park production obligations.
The film, written by Vernon Chatman, centers on a young Black man interning as a slave re-enactor at a living history museum.
This marks Kendrick Lamar's first feature film production and Parker and Stone's return to live-action filmmaking after over two decades.
Paramount film chief Brian Robbins has praised the script as one of the funniest and most original the studio has encountered.
