“South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone don’t find |
|
anything funny about the planned acquisition of Paramount Global by |
|
Skydance Media. |
|
|
|
“In response to the press release from Comedy Central about the |
|
change in premiere date for South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone |
|
said: This merger is a s**tshow and it’s f**king up South Park,” |
|
the two on social media. “We are at the studio working on new |
|
episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.” |
|
|
|
“South Park” airs on Comedy Central, which is a part of Paramount. |
|
The company is in the process of being sold to Skydance Media. |
|
|
|
New episodes of “South Park” were scheduled to air after a two-year |
|
wait on July 9. The Season 27 premiere has been pushed to July 23. |
|
|
|
The delay comes amid uncertainty and negotiations over streaming rights |
|
to the popular animated property, according to “South Park” had an |
|
exclusive streaming contract with HBO Max that expired last week. |
|
|
|
Paramount Global to resolve a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump |
|
over a “60 Minutes” news report aired on CBS last fall. |
|
|
|
The merger is reportedly expected to close on July 6, though it could |
|
possibly be extended. |
