Where will next-day episodes of “South Park” Season 27 stream?
Unlike past years, new episodes of “South Park” Season 27 will begin streaming on Paramount+. A licensing agreement between Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery allowed the show to stream on Max until June 2025, but that contract has been a source of huge friction between the two companies. WBD is alleging that Paramount breached that contract, leading to a lawsuit that continues to this day.
To clear up any lingering confusion, however, “South Park” Season 27 will stream on Paramount+.
