Two New South Park Movies Are Coming By The End Of The Year
"South Park" has been hacking its own, irreverent path in the dense thickets of pop culture since 1997, and thanks to a deal creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone recently inked with ViacomCBS, the show still has plenty of juice in the tank. "South Park" characters might occasionally go too far, but never before have they been given the chance to go quite this far, thanks to this new, $900 million deal that guarantees the show will run at the very least until its 30th season in 2027, and also includes 14 "South Park" movies for the Paramount+ streaming network (per Bloomberg).
Knowing that such a barrage of "South Park"-themed content is on the way, fans have been prepared for news of the upcoming adventures and celebrity parodies, courtesy of Cartman (voiced by Parker) and the rest of the gang. Those news are now here, and it looks like the tail end of the year 2021 is going to be an exciting time for "South Park" aficionados. After all, we now know that no less than two new "South Park" movies are coming by the end of the year.
Fans are getting two new South Park movies a year for a long time
The news of two rapidly approaching new Paramount+ "South Park" movies is just the tip of the iceberg, because it looks like Parker and Stone are going to drop two movies on an annual basis each and every year until 2027 (per Comic Book). Tanya Giles, Chief Programming Officer of ViacomCBS Streaming, revealed the situation at the Television Critics Association panel, and it looks like Parker and Stone have fully signed off on the approach.
"When we came to ViacomCBS with a different way to produce the show during the pandemic, Chris (McCarthy), Nina (Diaz), Keyes (Hill-Edgar), and Tanya (Giles) were immediately supportive and enabled us to try something new that turned out to be really well received," the "South Park" creators stated. "We can't wait to get back to doing traditional 'South Park' episodes, but now we can also try out new formats. It's great to have partners who will always take a chance with us."
It appears that "South Park" is not only going in some pretty exciting places, but fans can expect to see the first results of Parker and Stone's latest experiments sooner rather than later.
