South Park Leaves HBO Max Becomes Paramount+ Exclusive August 5

The iconic animated series "South Park" is officially leaving HBO Max on August 5, 2025, after a five-year streaming run, as its global exclusive streaming rights transfer to Paramount+. This change follows a $1.5 billion deal signed by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to continue producing the series on Comedy Central and stream it on Paramount+. The 27th season, which premiered recently with a controversial episode mocking President Donald Trump, has driven increased viewership, marking the most-watched season premiere since 1999. All 26 previous seasons are now fully available on Paramount+, alongside new episodes which air on Comedy Central and become available on Paramount+ the following day. The White House criticized the show, calling it irrelevant, but the episode's ratings success underscores its ongoing cultural impact. Fans looking to continue streaming "South Park" will need to subscribe to Paramount+ or access Comedy Central through other streaming services.
