South Park Studios discussing worldwide streaming move to Paramount+ for $1.5 billion

ister company Paramount+, as the last time streaming rights were available – in 2019 – Paramount+ hadn’t been launched yet. According to the LA Times however, this wasn’t a done deal as Paramount+ did offer to split the South Park streaming rights with HBO Max, who had been its exclusive US streaming home from 2019 to now, however talked reportedly “collapsed” on Monday.

This $1.5 billion deal does have its perks for Paramount, as it is a co-owner in South Park Studios. According to the LA Times, Paramount will “eventually recoup about half” of the streaming rights fee South Park would earn – with them, or with another streamer. Earlier this year, Deadline reported that these streaming rights were being shopped around to not only Paramount and HBO Max, but also Netflix – and that South Park creators Matt Parker and Trey Stone were threatening to take legal action over what it believed were illegal negotiations that were too self-serving to Paramount.

It isn’t clear what Stone and Parker’s opinions of this South Park streaming deal are… yet. This comes as Paramount is part of a messy merger with Skydance that South Park creators Stone and Parker have called “a shit show” and something that was actively “fucking” up work on the new season.

Exciting news for South Park fans as it looks like all the episodes, old and new, will soon be available in one place.
