What Time Will ‘South Park: The Streaming Wars’ Be on Paramount+?

In 2006, South Park made waves with one of its biggest and most controversial television events of all time: the two-part “Cartoon Wars.” Now, sixteen years later, the animated comedy is going back onto the battlefield. This week marks the premiere of South Park: The Streaming Wars on Paramount+, the streaming service’s new exclusive and raunchy original. And since South Park’s first “war” ended with the show depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad twice and both episodes being cut from HBO Max’s release of the series, the stakes are high.

There sure is, and you can check it out now. As for what this new special is about, remember how absurd inflation and Cartman’s time as a real estate agent led to him and his mom moving into a hotdog restaurant?

How Many South Park Movies Are Left?

In August of 2021, it was announced that Paramount+ had paid Matt Stone and Trey Parker $900 million for 14 exclusive South Park specials. Though these installments were originally dubbed as movies, it’s more accurate to think of them as longer, bonus South Park episodes. Last year saw the launch of two of those specials, and The Streaming Wars marks the first one to premiere in 2022. That means we have 11 of these episodes remaining.

When Will New Episodes of South Park Premiere?

That remains a mystery. In the early part of 2022, Comedy Central premiered six new episodes, which composed Season 25. We still don’t know if those will be the only episodes we’ll be seeing this year or if there are more mainline episodes on the way.
