"We are grateful for this opportunity and deeply honored by the trust placed in us," Parker share when the news was first released. "This is about more than a contract — it's about our commitment to this organization, our teammates, and our fans. We're focused on building something special and doing whatever it takes to bring championships to this city." Stone added, "Trey and I and the whole 'South Park' crew are grateful for this extension and this deal. We want to thank Chris McCarthy and Keyes Hill-Edgar for years of great partnership and are looking forward to continuing to make 'South Park' for the next five years."

The Los Angeles Times reported that a five-year deal for the global streaming rights is in place for the animated series. The deal is reportedly valued at $300 million per year, for a total value of $1.5 billion, though no specifics were offered in the initial reporting. The new deal will bring episodes to Paramount+ in the U.S. for the first time, joining the streamer's existing library of exclusive animated specials.

Parker and Stone will participate in an adult animation panel during San Diego Comic-Con 2025, returning to SDCC for the first time in nearly a decade. Joining the duo in Hall H for the panel on Thursday, July 24th ( a day after Season 27 debuts) at 6:45 p.m. are Beavis and Butt-Head's Mike Judge and Digman! creator Andy Samberg.
