Animation South Park

[Drizzle]

For a show that famously waits until a week before air to start working on episodes, they announced this really far in advance. Maybe a little too far. A lot of the stuff they're taking aim at will be even more outdated three months from now.

‘South Park’ Poised For Streaming Launch On Paramount+ But Could It Also Stay On HBO Max?

'South Park' is preparing for its streaming launch on Paramount+, as questions arise as to whether it could remain on HBO Max.

Ah, so that's why they announced the release date so far in advance. I'm hoping the new ones also stream on HBO Max (God, it feels good to type that officially again).

So will the new upcoming episodes stream to HBO Max or will they be exclusive to Paramount? The article wasn't clear.

So will the new upcoming episodes stream to HBO Max or will they be exclusive to Paramount? The article wasn't clear.

I think after June 30, all episodes of South Park will be streaming on Paramount Plus, including the new season that starts sometime during the summer.

Every time I see this thread bumped I think "What happened now?"

I never would have thought this much of a fuss would be made over South Park almost 30 years after its premiere.

3 Billion is crazy!

So I take it this means the new season won't be streaming on HBO Max at all?

Until they piss off Trump

 

[Drizzle]

Also $1.5 billion for a nearly 30 year old show that doesn't even adhere to a strict airing schedule is madness. I guess I'll be resorting to piracy to watch South Park because I'm not giving Paramount my money after what they did to Colbert.

Until they piss off Trump

The whole Garrison as Trump thing has already grown old and I don't think they've done that in awhile.

OH BOY

They Went in GUNS BLAZING

And it was glorious

I just saw the “He Gets Us” clip and I can only imagine that he’s going to demand Matt and Trey do prison time within the next 12 hours.

Welcome back, Saddam Hussein.

This was easily the best episode they've done since the Covid specials. I'm glad Matt and Trey reversed their stance on being bored of going after Trump with everything he's been doing since taking office again. They eviscerated him with the "He Gets Us" bit.
