“The Term Sheet reflects no episodic commitment whatsoever for the new seasons of ‘South Park,'” the counterclaim states. In the counterclaim, Paramount states that there was never a guarantee that the seasons would include 10 episodes apiece. WBD alleged that Paramount was engaged in “verbal trickery” to avoid delivering the required episodes to HBO Max. In 2021, MTV Entertainment Studios announced a $900 million deal with creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, ordering 14 “South Park” “made-for-streaming movies” to air on Paramount+. The next two seasons produced 12 more episodes, for a total of 14 instead of the expected 30. The COVID pandemic upended the 2020 season HBO Max ultimately got only two episodes. In its lawsuit, WBD alleged that each of those seasons was to consist of 10 episodes.

agreed in 2019 to pay $500 million for rights to stream 23 seasons of “South Park,” plus an additional three seasons that had yet to air on Comedy Central. Furthermore, it certainly does not justify WBD’s refusal to pay for immensely valuable content all of which it has received and from which it continues to profit.” Discovery’s argument that Paramount Global was required to deliver additional South Park content is baseless and wholly unsupported by the parties’ agreement. Discovery has indefensibly refused to pay the more than $50 million dollars it owes for South Park content that it has undisputedly received and which HBO Max continues to air and exploit,” a Paramount spokesperson said in a statement.
