Overview

  • Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a five-year agreement worth $1.5 billion, granting Paramount+ exclusive global streaming rights to all 26 past seasons and ordering 50 new episodes.
  • Under the pact, each season will deliver ten new episodes that debut on Comedy Central before streaming on Paramount+ the following day.
  • Paramount+ regains the full South Park library in the U.S. and international markets after the show’s $500 million HBO Max deal expired in June, and Season 27 premiered two weeks late on July 23.
  • Negotiations stalled over Paramount’s pending $28 billion Skydance merger, prompting public criticism from the creators about corporate interference.
  • The streaming deal aligns with a renewal of Parker and Stone’s overall contract, replacing their previous $900 million agreement and securing South Park’s production through 2030.
