NEW YORK — The rights to stream “South Park,” the popular animated comedy featuring foul-mouthed children, is the subject of a new lawsuit where Warner Bros Discovery Inc is seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages from Paramount Global. In a complaint filed on Friday in a New York state court in Manhattan, Warner said it paid Paramount and “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone more than $500 million in 2019 for the exclusive right to stream 333 episodes domestically on HBO Max, including the forthcoming seasons 24 to 26.

The complaint said the defendants cemented their apostasy in August 2021 when Paramount’s MTV unit announced an agreement to stream new “South Park” content on Paramount+, through season 30 in 2027.
