South Park Creators’ $2 Billion Deals Among Richest in TV History

The creators of “South Park” just hit the jackpot with a couple of mega-deals that are making television history. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the masterminds behind the iconic show, are set to rake in over $1.25 billion thanks to these groundbreaking agreements.

Paramount Global swooped in and secured the exclusive global streaming rights for “South Park” for a whopping $300 million annually for the next five years. This means that soon, you’ll be able to catch all the hilarious antics of Kenny, Kyle, Stan, and Cartman on Paramount+’s digital platform in the U.S. for the first time.

But that’s not all. Paramount also extended Stone and Parker’s overall production deal for their company, Park County. As part of this extended partnership, Park County will receive a minimum of $250 million each year until 2030 to churn out at least 50 new episodes of “South Park.” It’s a win-win for everyone involved.

These groundbreaking deals showcase just how valuable hit shows like “South Park” are in the entertainment industry. Despite the challenges faced by Hollywood studios, it’s clear that they are willing to invest big bucks in proven success stories. As former Comedy Central chief Doug Herzog put it, “In a business where nobody knows anything, there is one certainty: ‘South Park’ always wins.”

After months of tough negotiations, all parties involved finally came to an agreement on Monday. The pressure was on, especially with Paramount’s Comedy Central gearing up for the 27th season premiere of “South Park” this week. With the impending sale of the company and the looming presence of potential buyer David Ellison’s Skydance Media, all sides were eager to seal the deal before the big Comic-Con appearance later this week.

It’s clear that the legacy of “South Park” continues to captivate audiences and drive value for companies like Paramount. And with these massive deals in place, it’s safe to say that the adventures of our favorite foul-mouthed fourth-graders are far from over.
