‘South Park’ Co-Creator Matt Stone Promises a New Movie Special, Episodes in 2025

by

As a die-hard South Park fan since its debut in 1997, I have been eagerly awaiting any news about the beloved animated series. With over two decades of laughter and social commentary under their belt, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have become an integral part of my life, providing a unique blend of humor that never fails to entertain and provoke thought.

The recent confirmation of a South Park movie special on Paramount+ early this year, followed by new episodes on Comedy Central, has filled me with uncontainable excitement! After the hiatus in 2024, it was starting to feel like the end of an era. However, the announcement has rekindled my hope for many more years of South Park hilarity and insightful social commentary.

The fact that Parker and Stone have a live-action comedy film in the works with hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar adds another layer of anticipation to the mix. I can’t wait to see how they will blend their signature humor with the unique talents of Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free.

The recent deal signed by Parker and Stone with ViacomCBS in 2021, ensuring new South Park episodes on Comedy Central through 2027 and 14 original movies on Paramount+, is a testament to the enduring power of the series. With only seven movie specials out so far, I’m eagerly looking forward to the upcoming ones and the return of the boys from South Park.

I have always admired Stone and Parker’s ability to predict the future with uncanny accuracy in their show, and I can’t help but wonder what they will come up with next. As a fan who has grown up with South Park, I have no doubt that they will continue to push boundaries and make us laugh until the singularity arrives… or at least until the end of 2027!

And as always, I’ll be here, ready to laugh, learn, and appreciate the masterful blend of humor and social commentary that is South Park. Bring it on, guys! I just hope they never run out of topics to satirize… or maybe they will find a way to satirize the singularity itself!

In 2025, we can expect a grand return of the popular adult animated series, South Park. Matt Stone, one of its creators, has confirmed that a South Park movie special is set to debut on Paramount+ this year, with additional episodes airing on Comedy Central afterwards.

2024 marked the first time since 1997, with Stone and Parker releasing an Ozempic special in May, that there was no new season of South Park. As The Direct noted, this was only the second year without a fresh season for the long-running series.

2024 saw the first break since 1997 in the release of new seasons for South Park, with Stone and Parker releasing an Ozempic special in May, as The Direct highlighted. This was only the second year without a fresh season for this long-running series.

2024’s slow-down led to an avalanche of searches for a 2025 “South Park” movie in cinemas. However, it now seems that the cherished series will continue on television this year, featuring a “movie special” and additional new episodes instead.

Stone and Parker are currently developing a live-action comedy movie, which might explain why South Park has taken a break from production. This information was shared by Stone in a conversation with Bloomberg back in November 2024.

Our team is currently producing a film featuring Kendrick Lamar, Dave Free, and their production company. The movie is in progress, and if all goes well, we anticipate its release over the Independence Day weekend, coinciding with ‘Jurassic Park’. Quite amusing, isn’t it?

Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free are deeply engaged in this project daily. This is what we’re currently focusing on, followed by ‘South Park’ in the early part of next year. We’ll return with a single episode initially, and then many more episodes in the latter half of 2025. Right now, our main task is this ongoing work.

It’s been suggested that the absence of South Park in 2024 might mean the end of the popular show is near, but Stone has put those ideas to rest.

We’re not seeing an end yet, and let me tell you honestly, that’s because we’re still having a blast working in this sandbox. Currently, we’re producing a live-action film, and when we return to ‘South Park,’ it will feel like slipping back into an old pair of shoes. To put it casually, I can’t wait to reconnect with those characters once more, and yes, we genuinely enjoy working on ‘South Park.’

Stone is known for his timely humor, he quipped, “I believe we’ll live long enough to hit the singularity and delegate it to our artificial intelligence.

South Park Signed Some Serious Ink in 2021

As a loyal fan, I’m thrilled to share that in 2021, Parker and Stone secured a substantial agreement with ViacomCBS. This means that we can look forward to new South Park episodes on Comedy Central all the way until 2027. Moreover, this deal includes a total of 14 original movies that will be streamed exclusively through Paramount+.

As a long-time fan of South Park, I eagerly anticipate the upcoming movie specials that are part of the 14-film contract. Having grown up watching these iconic characters navigate through various social and political issues, their latest installments have always been a source of both laughter and reflection for me. The recent titles, such as “South Park: Post COVID” and “South Park: The Streaming Wars,” are no exception.

The upcoming releases, starting with “South Park: Post COVID – The Return of COVID” on December 16, 2021, promise to continue the show’s tradition of tackling current events in a satirical and thought-provoking manner. I can’t wait to see how they approach the ongoing pandemic, the streaming wars, and other relevant topics that have shaped our lives over the past few years.

The 2023 releases, like “South Park: Joining the Panderverse” and “South Park (Not Suitable for Children),” pique my curiosity due to their intriguing titles and the unique perspectives they’ll likely offer on contemporary issues. I’m particularly excited about “South Park (Not Suitable for Children)” as it seems to touch upon the ongoing discourse around content warnings and age-appropriate entertainment.

Overall, I believe that these upcoming South Park movies will continue to provide a fresh and entertaining take on our ever-changing world, making me look forward to each new release with eager anticipation.

Given that only half of the South Park specials have been released and Stone has confirmed more are coming, it appears that South Park is in good shape, or alternatively, South Park appears to be doing well.
