“South Park” has been pulled abruptly for users of the Paramount+ streaming service outside the United States.
THR reports that the streamer’s license to stream the series internationally has expired and the platform is reportedly in continued negotiations with the hope of having the series back up soon for all subscribers.
The news comes shortly after it was announced that the season 27 premiere has been pushed back two weeks to July 23rd from its originally planned date of July 9th.
The show’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are currently in a legal stoush with Paramount Global and Skydance who are in the midst of their merger.
In response to the news of the delay the other week, Parker and Stone posted on social media: “This merger is a s—show and it’s f—ing up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.”
The original “South Park” specials created specifically for the streamer remain on the Paramount+ service. Paramount currently has two years left on its $900 million deal for the digital rights to “South Park”.
