US EditionSouth Park Removed From Paramount+ Outside US
UNITED STATES, JUL 12 – South Park's international removal from Paramount+ follows an expired license amid disputes involving creators and Skydance, delaying the show's new season premiering July 23.
- South Park was removed from Paramount+ in all international markets following the expiration of its streaming license outside the U.S.
- The removal took place amid ongoing disputes over streaming rights involving South Park’s creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and the parent company of Comedy Central, complicated further by recent executive changes and merger negotiations.
- Although the show has been removed from Paramount+ internationally, in the United States, South Park continues to be accessible through an independently negotiated and temporarily prolonged streaming agreement with HBO Max, while specials produced for Paramount+ remain viewable outside the U.S.
- Parker and Stone publicly called the merger process chaotic and threatened legal action against Paramount's incoming president for interfering with contract negotiations, while the 27th season premiere was postponed to July 23 due to these complications.
- Negotiations continue with hopes to finalize a new international streaming deal soon, potentially restoring full global access to South Park, though no official timeline for resolution exists.
