The fictional Colorado town of South Park has a new streaming home.
All 26 seasons of Comedy Central’s sitcom, as well as the new 27th season, will move to Paramount+ in the U.S. following an exclusive 5 year licensing deal announced Wednesday, July 23. The deal includes 50 new episodes that will join streaming service the day after each one airs on Comedy Central.
The “South Park” library in the U.S. was previously on HBO Max for the past five years.
Since premiering in 1997, the dark comedy co-created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone has achieved long lasting success through its raunchy humor often making satirical digs about pop culture and politics. The show is more popular than ever and the creators have no plans to stop soon, according to a Paramount+ news release.
Stone said in the news release that the entire creative team is grateful for the deal and look forward to making new content for the next five years.
“This is about more than a contract — it’s about our commitment to this organization, our teammates, and our fans. We’re focused on building something special and doing whatever it takes to bring championships to this city,” Parker said in the news release.
The license deal between Paramount and Parker and Stone’s company Park County is reportedly worth $1.5 billion, according to Deadline. The two companies’ joint venture is known as South Park Digital Studios.
