The creators of Comedy Central’s South Park cartoon satire reached new agreements with Paramount Global to continue making the long-running series.The company will pay $300 million annually to obtain exclusive streaming rights to South Park for the Paramount+ service over five years,

So in late June, the U.S. rights expired, though the show remained on HBO Max. Then, earlier this month, the international rights expired, and Paramount had to pull all 26 seasons of "South Park" from Paramount Plus in regions outside of the U.S. It even forced Paramount to push the premiere of "South Park" season 27 to this Wednesday (July 23).

Paramount has reportedly reached a 5-year, $1.5 billion streaming deal with the show’s creators, after the company’s incoming owners sought to rework an earlier agreement.
