South Park Removed from Streaming on Paramount Plus in UK and Other Territories: What Fans Should Know

Hey there, South Park fans in the UK! If you love watching the hilarious antics of the South Park gang on Paramount Plus, we have some news for you. It’s official – the popular adult animated series will no longer be available for streaming outside of the US on the platform. Don’t worry, though, because there’s hope that negotiations are ongoing to bring it back for all subscribers soon.

According to sources cited by The Hollywood Reporter, the reason for this change is due to Paramount Plus’s expired license to stream South Park internationally. While we wait for the series to make a comeback, fans in the UK and around the world can still enjoy special episodes like South Park: Post-COVID, South Park: The Streaming Wars, South Park: The End of Obesity, South Park: Joining The Panderverse, and the first film, South Park: Bigger Longer, & Uncut on Paramount Plus.

But fear not, UK fans! You can catch repeats of South Park on Comedy Central, so you can still get your fix of the iconic show. It seems like there’s been some drama behind the scenes that has led to these changes. Show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are reportedly locked in a streaming rights battle with Paramount Global, causing the delay of the season 27 premiere from July 9th to July 23rd.

In a statement posted on the official South Park X account, Parker and Stone expressed their frustrations, saying, “This merger is a s**tshow and it’s f**king up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes, and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.”

While US viewers can look forward to the season 27 premiere this month, the rest of us will have to wait and see if negotiations result in a positive streaming outcome for fans worldwide. Many fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment over the removal of South Park episodes, prompting a response from Paramount Plus.

If you’re considering canceling your Paramount Plus subscription due to the changes, the platform is offering a process to close your account. But rest assured, we’ll keep you updated on any developments as negotiations continue. Stay tuned for more information and keep your fingers crossed for a swift resolution that brings South Park back to screens for everyone to enjoy.
