Two New South Park Movies Are Coming This Year, Sort Of

Let’s face info. The 1999 South Park film, Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, is likely one of the greatest film musicals ever. And within the 22 years since its launch, whereas its creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have made loads of South Park, they haven’t made one other film. But that modifications later this 12 months, in a bizarre type of method.

Last August, Parker and Stone signed a $900 million deal to proceed South Park by way of 2027. Part of the deal concerned 14 mysterious new films that might arrive on the Paramount+ streaming service, and now, talking to the Hollywood Reporter, we all know what meaning and once they’ll start to reach.

The first of those new “made for TV” South Park films might be launched November 25 and it’s known as South Park: Post Covid. “It’s the boys dealing with a post-covid world. They’re just trying to get back to normal,” Parker advised the commerce. “So, it is like our show. We’re just trying to get back to normal.” The second movie will then arrive in December, with two extra arriving throughout every of the subsequent six years.

But, in contrast to the 1999 musical, these usually are not fairly full-length characteristic movies, nor are they common South Park episodes and even South Park specials. These are model new movies that run about an hour every. “We’re trying to make what’s on Paramount+ different from anywhere else,” Stone stated. “So hourlong made-for-TV movies is where our head is at. We’ll do two made-for-TV movies every year. They will be big, but they are not quite movie scale.”

“With Viacom, we realized we could make them as long or as short as we needed,” Parker added. “And they then went and called them ‘movies.’ They are the ones who said we are giving them 14 movies in seven years. All I can say is for me, personally, I am 52 years old, I have made three movies in my life. So you do the math.”
