South Park will broadcast two movie "events" every year for the next six years, Paramount+ has confirmed. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone recently signed an enormously lucrative $900 million deal with Viacom CBS last year, ensuring at least six more seasons of South Park, as well as 14 TV movies to stream exclusively on Paramount+. The deal will take South Park to at least season 30, and was made following the show's enormously successful "Pandemic Special" in 2020, which proved to be the elementally profane comedy's most-watched episode in years.

Paramount's relationship with South Park first began with the two hour-long streaming specials "Post Covid" and "Post Covid: The Return of Covid," which saw the mountain town boys all grown-up and facing a new coronavirus variant. The series is currently celebrating its landmark season 25 on Comedy Central, and has already dropped an unexpected twist to the show's folklore by revealing character Token's real name as being Tolkien, after the renowned fantasy author of The Lord of the Rings. Along with the current South Park series, Paramount have confirmed that a further two specials are also set to stream on its service later this year.
