Explore all the new South Park movies streaming on Paramount+, including upcoming titles and exclusive release updates.
For more than 20 years, South Park has stunned, delighted, and angered viewers with its outrageous humour and incisive satire. However, in recent years, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have taken the South Park universe far beyond standard weekly television. Thanks to a first-of-its-kind deal with Paramount+, the creators of South Park are expanding the irreverent animated series into new territory—through a significant series of original films.
The Paramount+ Deal: 14 Exclusive South Park Movies
In 2021, Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a colossal $900 million deal with ViacomCBS (now Paramount Global). The deal addressed the following:
Renew the original television series through season 30
Create 14 original South Park films directly for Paramount+
Create additional content including films, specials, and spin-offs.
What’s already out on Paramount+ UK?
As part of the rollout, several South Park films have already been released on Paramount+ UK, allowing South Park fans new storylines, a new timeline, and new satire on modern culture.
1. South Park: Post-COVID (2021)
It’s the future, and the boys are all grown up, and society is still traumatized from the pandemic.
Why it matters: This special balances humour with a surprisingly sobering look at friendships, aging, and isolation.
2. South Park: Post Covid
The Return of Covid (2021) The sequel picks up with the crew trying to change the past to save the future. Think Back to the Future meets Black Mirror, South Park style.
3. South Park:
The Streaming Wars (2022) A sharp satire on streaming service saturation – Cartman and the crew get pulled into a ridiculous plot about water rights and digital turf wars.
4. South Park:
The End of Obesity (2024) The most recent installment takes on the growing trend of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic with hilarious results.
Randy Marsh finds himself in a race with pharmaceutical companies, and judging by the movie’s trailer, expect plenty of chaos, social commentary and…body shaming jokes. Expert Take:
“This movie offers South Park at its finest – satirical, shocking, but surprisingly relevant,” TV critic Hannah Cresswell of The Guardian told the BBC and echoed across Reddit and Facebook comment threads.
