South Park Streaming Launch: Paramount+ vs. HBO Max Battle
Fans of the long-running animated series “South Park” have reason to celebrate this summer as the show is set to premiere its 27th season on July 9. After a two-year hiatus, Comedy Central is bringing back the beloved show just in time for some summer laughs.
But that’s not all – with a recent exclusive streaming deal between Paramount and HBO Max coming to an end on June 30, “South Park” will also be available to stream on Comedy Central’s parent company Paramount+. This move is part of Paramount’s strategy to bring some of its popular shows, including “South Park” and “Yellowstone,” onto its own streaming platform.
Industry insiders have speculated that this timing is no coincidence, especially considering the ongoing legal battle between Paramount and HBO Max over streaming rights. Paramount Global co-CEO Chris McCarthy highlighted the significance of this addition during a recent earnings call, emphasizing the value of adding “South Park” to the Paramount+ library.
So mark your calendars for July 9 and get ready to enjoy the latest season of “South Park” on Comedy Central and Paramount+. It’s sure to be a wild ride with all your favorite characters back in action!
