South Park’s creators’ reaction was to delay season 27 (and they did not overlook the words)

Comedy Central announced that the 27th season of “South Park” has been late for two weeks and will be released now on July 23, 2025. It did not take a long time of delay, given that viewers did not get a new episode of “South Park” since 2023 (not calculated the single “special” episode that decreased in 2024). However, delay is bad news, if not bad Kenny dies with a ridiculous number of times. Now, however, the situation has become a flower, with the official South Park Social media account After participating in the “South Park” statement from the creators, Tri Parker and Matt Stone.

“This merger is a width *** which is” South Park “. We in the studio are working on new episodes and we hope that fans can see them in one way or another,” says the statement.

Specifically, Parker and Stone’s statement indicates the proposed integration between Paramount Global and Skydance Media, which was created last year but was not completely closed. Now, Parker and sixty bases respond completely. This is a very “South Park” reaction, a comment that burns the bridge, which does not make sense, rarely we see from the creators. (To get a very different snapshot on executives, witness Response from “The Tiny Chef Show” To their series is canceled.)

But there is a lot here more than just Parker and Stone in a state of madness in Comedy Center, because this statement is only the last chapter in a long battle between the two and Paramount. Let’s go back to the beginning. Everything began in 2007 with the creation of South Park Digital Studios, a partnership between Paramount (which owns Comedy Central), Parker and Stone. The plan was for the studio to deal with broadcasting rights in the exhibition (a new concept at the time), with no parties concerned in full control.

However, by 2019, things changed dramatically in this industry. The broadcast was not just something, as it was dominating Hollywood, and each studio wanted a piece of that large cash pie. Since Paramount did not have a platform Paramount at that time, it has seen an opportunity to earn a lot of money and sell “South Park” to HBO Max, making each of the exhibition available to broadcast on this basic system (including new episodes). With the exception, by 2021, Paramount launched its current with Paramount+, and in the same year, the studio concluded a deal with South Park Studios for six additional seasons of the show, as well as the exclusive “special rings” for Paramount+.

Yes, Parker and Sixty -Second were technically dipped by producing “South Park” exclusive projects for HBO Max and Paramount+. This is essentially what The “broadcast wars” were all distinctiveAnd this is amazing special. However, HBO Max was not happy with what she saw as a violation of the contract and sued Paramount by broadcasting what the company saw as new episodes on its own platform.

But the HBO Max flow deal was appointed to end its validity now, in 2025, meaning “South Park” will only flow on Paramount+ after that. If it was so easy. Instead, this broadcasting deal has not been renewed or replaced with an alternative, and Parker and Stone’s South Park studios have shopping for other companies. Except, according to the documents revealed Hollywood ObserverParker and Stone is now threatening to sue Paramount by allegedly interfering in a new broadcasting rights deal in the exhibition.

Specifically, Parker and Stone Jeff Shell, who is scheduled to become president of Paramount Global after the attachment of the studio with Skydance, is accused of trying to define Paramount+ and shortening terms with other studios into a new flow agreement.

In short, Parker and Stone expresses their anger at what they see, as Chenigan is largely changing the way they make “South Park” (the last seasons were shorter because they also make “special offers”), and when the show episodes are released, and who can even broadcast them.
