The boys from South Park, Colorado, aren’t going anywhere. After months of tense negotiations and industry buzz, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have signed a massive five-year extension with Paramount Global, officially greenlighting 50 brand-new episodes of the iconic animated series.
In one of the biggest content deals of 2025, this new chapter not only secures the future of South Park but also makes all 26 seasons available to stream in one place for the first time, Paramount+.
A $1.5 Billion Win for ‘South Park’
According to reports, the total value of the deal could reach a jaw-dropping $1.5 billion, or roughly $300 million per year. This isn’t just a contract; it’s a cultural moment. With Season 27 launching on July 23 (after a two-week delay), the show’s creators are poised to deliver fresh chaos to Comedy Central and Paramount+ fans worldwide.
“We are grateful for this opportunity and deeply honored by the trust placed in us,” said Trey Parker. “This is about more than a contract, it’s about our commitment to this organization, our teammates, and our fans.”
Matt 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.”
South Park OTT: HBO Max Out, Paramount+ In
Until recently, South Park was streaming on HBO Max. However, that deal has now expired, making Paramount+ the exclusive home for the full South Park catalog, including past seasons, future episodes, and previous specials.
Paramount+ has already hosted several South Park specials over the years, but this marks the first time all content is consolidated under one streaming roof.
South Park: Cultural Impact + Franchise Growth
Launched in 1997, South Park has remained one of television’s most fearless and enduring franchises. It’s equally beloved for its sharp satire as it is notorious for pushing the boundaries of comedy.
“Matt and Trey are singular, creative forces whose fearless humor and boundary-pushing storytelling have made South Park more popular today than at any point in its history,” said Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global.
With nearly 30 years of history and a seemingly endless supply of real-world absurdity to parody, the show is more culturally relevant than ever, and this deal ensures its evolution into the streaming era with full creative force.
South Park Season 27 Release Date
50 new episodes will air on Comedy Central, followed by streaming on Paramount+ the next day. South Park Season 27 kicks off July 23.
Expect more specials, spin-offs, and digital content via South Park Digital Studios, co-owned by Park County and Paramount.
For fans wondering if South Park would fade quietly into nostalgia, think again. With a fresh $1.5 billion injection and total creative freedom, Parker and Stone are just getting warmed up.
This deal is a landmark moment for South Park, adult animation, streaming wars, and the next era of comedy.
