On streaming service Paramount+, coming to the UK

South Park are to make two new movies a year under a new deal with Paramount+.

The platform is to become the global streaming home for the full back catalogue of the animated comedy. As of season 27 in 2024, new episodes of the hit franchise will also make their streaming debuts exclusively on the service.

As part of the deal, two new feature-length episodes will be released each year from now until 2027, following the success of last year’s South Park: Post Covid and South Park: Post Covid: The Return Of Covid.

At the same time, Paramount+ revealed the title of its new Beavis and Butt-Head film, which will be Beavis And Butt-Head Do The Universe.

The plot has the pair sentenced to Space Camp by a ‘creative’ judge in 1998. Their obsession with a docking simulator (huh huh) leads to a trip on the Space Shuttle, with predictably disastrous results. After going through a black hole, they reemerge in our time, where they look for love, misuse iPhones, and are hunted by the Deep State.

A new season of the hit animated series, as well as the full library of more 200 remastered episodes, will also stream exclusively on the service – which is coming to the UK in the simmer.

The announcements were made by Chris McCarthy of parent company ViacomCBS, who said: ‘South Park and Beavis And Butt-Head are two of the most successful and widely known adult animation IP [intellectual property] in the history of the genre, and I am thrilled that Paramount+ will be their exclusive new SVOD [Subscription Video on Demand home.

‘By expanding the universe of these franchises, we are unlocking significant value within ViacomCBS’ treasure chest of IP, and this is just the beginning.’ 

No launch date or pricing details for Paramount+ have yet been revealed.
