‘South Park’ Season 27 Premiere Date Pushed By Comedy Central Amid Streaming Deal Uncertainty; Series Creators React


The Season 27 premiere of South Park, originally slated for July 9, has been moved to July 23 amid tension over the show's lucrative streaming deal.

The network has released a new poster for the upcoming season, touting the return of Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny and other popular characters, including Jesus. THR reported on the letter, in which Parker and Stone threaten legal action over what the document claims was an attempt to get WBD to agree to a shorter, 5-year term and to take new seasons of South Park after they’ve had a 12-month exclusive window on Paramount+. Paramount+, which carries a handful of South Park specials made exclusively for the platform that became the subject of a lawsuit by WBD, is still expected to start streaming the show in time for the new season.
