Warner Bros. Discovery sued Paramount Global looking to enforce the streaming rights of 'South Park,' setting the stage for a legal battle between two media behemoths.

A Paramount spokesperson denied the claims made by Warner in Friday's lawsuit, adding that Warner has stopped paying licensing fees.

Although the agreement called for HBO Max to receive the first episodes of the latest season of"South Park" in 2020, Paramount said it notified Warner in March that it would halt production of the season as a result of the pandemic Warner further alleges the scheme was in the works when Paramount's subsidiary MTV signed a deal with the"South Park" creators in 2021, which called for exclusive content for Paramount+, reportedly worth $900 million.
