Paramount+, the new streaming service from Network 10 owner ViacomCBS set to launch next week, will get a big boost with the addition of 14 new made-for-streaming _South Park_ movies. _South


Park_, an American adult animation which has run for 25 seasons, has been extended to a 30th season in 2024. Alongside this, 14 new films – two in 2021 – will come exclusively to the new


Paramount+ platform. According to Chris McCarthy, President/CEO – MTV Entertainment & CCO/Adult Animation – Paramount+, the partnership will fuel both Paramount+ and _South Park_’s home


in the US, the cable TV channel Comedy Central. “Matt [Stone] and Trey [Parker] are world-class creatives who brilliantly use their outrageous humour to skewer the absurdities of our


culture. “Franchising marquee content like South Park and developing new IP with tremendous talent like Matt and Trey, is at the heart of our strategy to continue growing Paramount+,” he


said. Paramount+ will launch in Australia on August 11.
