Paramount+ Becomes South Park's Exclusive Streaming Home, Including 50 New Episodes Over The Next 5 Years

Just hours ahead of tonight's South Park Season 27 premiere (Comedy Central, 10/9c), Paramount Global has announced a new five-year deal with Trey Parker and Matt Stone's Park County, making Paramount+ the show's new exclusive streaming home around the world.

This applies to South Park's entire 26-season library, as well as the 50 new episodes being produced over the next five years. New episodes will debut linearly on Comedy Central on Wednesdays, then will be available to stream Thursdays on Paramount+.

"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, says 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."

Adds Stone, "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."

Echoing his partner's sentiment, Parker says, "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."

South Park's Season 27 premiere was previously slated for July 9, but it was delayed until July 27 due to complications with the merger of Skydance Media and Paramount Global. At the time, Parker and Stone released the following statement: "This merger is a s–tshow and it's f–king up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow."
