Why Is the South Park Paramount+ Deal Earning So Much Buzz?

Can Paramount+ and South Park’s New Streaming Pact Boost Global Fun?

South Park now has a new home. Paramount+ and the show’s creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, agreed to a five-year streaming partnership valued at $1.5 billion. This agreement brings all episodes—old and new—to fans worldwide, marking an optimistic moment for the show’s future and for the streaming wars.

What Is Included in the Paramount+ Agreement?

All previous South Park seasons (1-26) will be available globally on Paramount+.

Season 27 and the next five years’ worth of new episodes are part of the deal. This means ten new episodes each year are set to be produced.

An end to rights disputes: The move closes a chapter of tense negotiations after HBO Max’s previous agreement for streaming rights expired in June 2025.

A return home: Comedy Central, owned by Paramount, remains the show’s TV channel for new episodes, with episodes appearing on Paramount+ the next day.

Why Is the Contract Amount So High?

The deal is reported at $1.5 billion for five years, equaling around $300 million per year—the largest ever for an animated series.

South Park’s massive popularity and loyal fan base drive incredible value.

The contract guarantees 50 new episodes over the next five years, along with the full back library.

What Changes for Viewers

Global Streaming

Fans worldwide—outside the U.S. and within—gain access to the complete South Park collection on a single platform.

Where to Watch

Each new episode airs first on Comedy Central, then streams on Paramount+ the following day. Season 27 launched on July 23, 2025, after a short delay caused by contract talks.

Accessible Library

Previously, only HBO Max carried U.S. streaming rights, making it hard for international viewers to catch up. Paramount+ opens access everywhere moving forward.
