$1.5 Billion and a Burrito: South Park’s Streaming Payday Blows Everyone’s Minds!

-

In a deal more explosive than a Cartman‑style soufflé, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have secured a $1.5 billion, five‑year streaming bonanza with Paramount+, finally hauling South Park back home after its flirtation with HBO Max expired in June. 

Sources whisper that the global streaming rights ring up at a cool $300 million per year—enough to buy roughly 15 million jumbo bags of cheesy poofs.

Paramount+ negotiators, led by COO Keyes Hill‑Edgar, spent months tiptoeing through the legal minefield that is modern TV deals, only to be derailed when Skydance Media (soon to own Paramount) balked at Park County’s initial ten‑year ask. 

Imagine requesting a decade‑long pledge from a company that can’t even promise your show won’t be yanked if somebody else offers more snack money. 

Eventually, sanity prevailed: five years, 10 new episodes a season, and a combined sniff of back‑door litigation that involved heavyweight lawyers Stuart Liner and Bryan Freedman literally polishing their briefs.

Why the rush? 

Paramount wanted this locked down before July 13, when Comedy Central debuts Season 27—delayed once amid behind‑the‑scenes melodrama—and before Parker and Stone descend on Comic‑Con. 

Nothing says “We still love our fans” quite like announcing you’ve just cashed in three zeroes extra in streaming rights.

Park County, the production arm of Parker and Stone, stands to net nearly half the streaming revenue via the longstanding 2007 joint venture South Park Digital Studios. 

That nifty arrangement means Paramount can claw back about half its licensing fee over time—an accountant’s dream, and cartographer’s nightmare, mapping out all that cash flow...

Back in 2019, Paramount’s predecessors fumbled by licensing South Park to HBO Max—leaving Paramount+ out in the cold, much like the eponymous Colorado hamlet. 

Paramount even dangled a co‑license option at Warner Bros. Discovery, promising Kenny could drown on two services at once. 

But WBD’s negotiators apparently preferred long‑distance streaming heartbreak to buddying up, so Paramount+ marched on solo.

Meanwhile, amid the glitz, remember the subplot: Parker and Stone are also renegotiating their $900 million Comedy Central deal (good through 2027) and angling for an even juicier contract to keep the potty‑mouthed quartet in business. 

Because if there’s one thing South Park fans love more than crude humor, it’s knowing their show’s financial numbers have more commas than Cartman has excuses!

With Skydance’s David Ellison and RedBird’s Jeff Shell signing off on every major transaction, Paramount’s board finally blessed the streaming coup—just in time for simmering Comic‑Con panels, fan Q&As, and those sweet, sweet subscription sign‑ups.

So what have we learned? 

That in today’s streaming wars, even a show about four foul‑mouthed fourth‑graders can command a billion‑plus payday. 

And hey, if Parker and Stone ever get tired of swearing at celebrities, they can always sell their next season’s rights to, I don’t know, the Space Force?!

In the end, Paramount+ is now the official “home of South Park,” which might prompt Netflix to rerun their “oh‑snap” tweet from 2019—and remind everyone that, like a well‑thrown wad of gum in Mr. Garrison’s classroom, you never know where TV rights will land next!

  MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State, where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21. Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right? Like a le...

Here's A New HOA Rule Dictating What You Can Do Inside Your Home

HOA Overreach: When Your Own Home Isn’t Really Your Own The joys of homeownership—the American dream!  That magical place where you can paint the walls any color you like, blast your music (within reason), and enjoy the simple pleasure of—wait, never mind..... Turns out, your HOA might have something to say about what you do inside your own four walls. Case in point: A longtime homeowner, who has peacefully lived in his residence for 25 years, was blindsided when his HOA suddenly banned smoking inside individual homes.  That’s right—after a quarter-century of no issues, he was informed that lighting up indoors was no longer an option.  The new rule, passed at the HOA’s annual meeting by a majority vote, now restricts smoking to a designated outdoor area. Now, while some might see this as a health-conscious decision, the homeowner—whose wife is a smoker—sees it as an unfair overreach.  In a letter to a local publication, he expressed frustration, writing, “I’ve live...

Postal Police Stuck Behind ‘Keep Out’ Signs While Mailmen Face Muggers: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

As crime against letter carriers surges, one would think that America’s armed, uniformed Postal Police might be hitting the streets to protect our mail.  Instead, they’re still glued to their post office entrances like sentries guarding Fort Frownmore.  Why?  Because since 2020, the Postmaster General decreed they must “protect postal property” only—meaning, they currently serve as glorified lobby bouncers rather than actual roaming guardians of the mailstream. “ They’re robbing letter carriers, they’re sticking a gun in a letter carrier’s face and they’re demanding arrow keys, ” laments Frank Albergo , president of the National Postal Police Union and a Postal Police Officer himself.  An "arrow key" in the context of the Post Office is a specialized, universal key that postal workers use to access various locked mail receptacles, including collection boxes, apartment mailboxes, and cluster boxes. Albergo isn’t exaggerating—research shows over 100 physical assaul...
