Paramount Global & ‘South Park’ Studio Park County Extend Overall Deal

Paramount Global, Park County and South Park Digital Studios today announced an expansive renewal with South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone for five years, including 50 new episodes, all 26 previous seasons and extending South Park on Comedy Central and Paramount+ around the world.

The announcement confirms the earlier news that, for the first time ever, Paramount+ will become the U.S. home for the South Park library and all new episodes, kicking off with the new Season 27 debuting on Comedy Central today (July 23) and on Paramount+ tomorrow.

“Matt and Trey are 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,” said Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of Showtime/MTV Entertainment.  “They are exceptional talents and trusted partners — we’re thrilled that Comedy Central and now Paramount+ globally will be the home to South Park for years to come and our thanks to the Skydance team for their vital partnership in making this happen.”

Skydance is in the process of acquiring Paramount Global.

“Trey and I and the whole South Park crew are grateful for this extension and this deal. 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,” said Stone.

Parker added, “We are grateful for this opportunity and deeply honored by the trust placed in us. This is about more than a contract — it’s about our commitment to this organization, our teammates, and our fans. We’re focused on building something special and doing whatever it takes to bring championships to this city.”

Comedy Central’s South Park launched on August 13, 1997. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are the co-creators of South Park. Parker, Stone, Anne Garefino and Frank C.
