South Park fans are looking forward to Kartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny for at least five more years. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who are the creator of the long -running dynamic show South Park, have closed their show in a five -year contract to bring their show to the Paramount Plus Streaming Service and give the Paramount Global Streaming rights.
The pair will make 10 episodes every year, as stated in the Los Angeles Times. The contract replaces the franchise with HBO Max and its core company Warner Bruce Discovery. According to previous reports, the South Park team was closed for months in talks.
The agreement only covers streaming rights and does not include a separate deal with Comedy Central in Merchandizing or Pair Production Company Park County to continue the show on the network.
The 27th season of the show was delayed on July 23, due to tactics behind the curtains behind the Sky Dennis Media. The TV series began in Comedy Central in 1997.
Parker and Stone will go to the stage in the San Diego Comic Ear the next day of the show’s premiere on July 24, with the Directorate of Aloom Andy Samburg and Baoes and Butt Head creator Mike Judge.
What does this mean for TV viewers and streaming industry
Jason Fairchide, CEO of TV Skyfak, tells CNET, the television advertising company, “Investing Paramount in South Park” is a bold condition on the future of streaming. “
“When the other parts of the media’s landscape are stabilizing or trimming fat, the paramount is doubled on special IPs to anchor its platform and focus on the crowded market,” says Fairchaide.
He says other streaming rivals, including Netflix and Amazon’s prime video, have reduced sports programming and global content deals. “The basic strategy is clear: I own the content that operates purchase and engagement.”
Fairchild says viewers can rely on rapid streaming services advertising if they feel that they cannot afford access to all their premium content in the scattered sector of paid streamers.
Former Sony’s Executive Seth Shechner, now a Managing Director in Los Angeles Advisory Firm Strat, said that the Paramount’s contract “looks like a lot ahead, is closer to the Netflix can work more than the traditional studio.”
Shechner says the agreement may begin a further direct creator’s trend of deals.
“If this contract becomes a template of other major ticket programs, I won’t be surprised to keep the studios.”
