Paramount+ Strikes Gold with South Park Season 27 and Historic New Deal
So, here's something massive for all of us South Park fans—after what felt like ages of back-and-forth behind the scenes, a game-changing deal has finally been sealed. Paramount Global has officially won the streaming rights to South Park , and that includes not only the full back catalog of 26 seasons but also a commitment to 50 brand-new episodes spread across five more seasons. That’s right— South Park is locked in until Season 31, and Season 27 is already here.

This is part of a monster five-year deal between Paramount and the creators of South Park , Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The numbers? An eye-watering $1.25 billion. That makes it one of the biggest financial agreements in television history. It's not just about the money—it’s about securing one of the most culturally significant and longest-running animated shows ever.
The first episode of Season 27 premiered on Comedy Central, the show’s original home since 1997. And the very next day? Boom—it drops on Paramount+. That’s the model moving forward. Weekly episodes air on Comedy Central on Wednesdays, then hit Paramount+ on Thursdays, giving both traditional cable users and streamers what they want.
Now here’s where it gets really exciting for longtime fans: Paramount+ isn’t just hosting the new episodes. They’ve also secured the entire South Park library. That’s over two decades of content, finally under one digital roof again. For a while, different streaming services like HBO Max had the rights, and fans had to bounce around to find certain seasons. Now, all 26 past seasons are reunited and will be fully available on Paramount+ starting this July.
This agreement wasn’t simple, though. It came after intense negotiations, lawsuits, and even opposition from Skydance—who are in the middle of acquiring Paramount. There were even claims of interference from industry executives. But all that noise is behind us now, and the result is a huge win for fans.
So what does this mean for you and me? More South Park , more consistently, and finally, a place to binge every Cartman meltdown, every Randy moment, and all the absurdity in between—without hopping between platforms. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just catching up, this is the perfect time to dive back in.
Bottom line— South Park isn’t going anywhere. It’s evolving, expanding, and thriving. And with Paramount+ at the helm, the next era of this legendary show is set to be bigger and bolder than ever.
