During the ViacomCBS investors’ presentation on Tuesday, Chief Content Officer Chris McCarthy announced that beginning in 2024, new episodes of “South Park” will premiere on Paramount+ for U.S. subscribers. In 2025, all of the series’ back episodes will migrate to the platform from HBO Max.
The move will come after the long-running animated hit’s current five-year deal with HBO Max ends and Viacom can officially bring one of their its most profitable IPs home. International markets will be able to stream the series on Paramount+ later this year.
For a limited time, get 50% off a year of Paramount+ with Code: FALL50. (Free trial not available with this deal.)
Season 27 of “South Park” will then be exclusively available to stream in Paramount+ beginning in 2024 and then the full catalog of episodes, movies, and made-for-streaming movies will be available on the streamer in 2025. Viacom’s platform is already the exclusive streaming outlet for “South Park” made-for-streaming movies, including “South Park: Post Covid” and “South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid,” both of which debuted on Paramount+ in 2021.
The films were part of a $900 million, six-year deal between the entertainment company and the show’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
Also moving exclusively to Paramount+ will be the latest revival series of another irreverent Viacom animated series, “Beavis and Butt-Head.” After premiering on MTV in 1993 a second Comedy Central reboot launched in 2020 and the third season will now live exclusively on Paramount+. The move will be accompanied by the series’ full catalog of over 200 remastered episodes from the original MTV run.
South Park
This vulgar animated series follows the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctional town of South Park, Colorado.
“South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut” is a must-see movie if you enjoy this series. It shows off the musical inclinations that would later lead the creators to make “The Book of Mormon.” You’ll also enjoy the behind-the-scenes documentary, “6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park.”
