South Park’s masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone just struck a blockbuster deal with Paramount, selling global streaming rights to Paramount+ in the U.S. for $300 million a year over five years—that’s a $1.5 billion payday. As part of the agreement, Park County will deliver 10 new episodes per season. Negotiations with HBO Max and Warner Bros. Discovery fell apart, so Paramount went solo after losing the show in 2019.

This move cements South Park’s reputation as one of TV’s priciest franchises and shows how desperate streamers are to snag proven hits. Paramount’s bet? Cartman, Kenny, Kyle and Stan will be a major draw for subscribers.
