'South Park' is about to leave HBO Max — here's when it will be gone
But at the time of that announcement, old episodes of "South Park" were still on HBO Max. In fact, as you're reading this, they still are on the streaming service formerly known as Max.
That's changing this week, though. As of Tuesday, Aug. 5, old "South Park" episodes will leave HBO Max for good, joining the season 27 premiere on Paramount Plus. This is because a temporary deal between Park County, which licenses the show's streaming rights, and HBO Max will expire on that date (h/t The Hollywood Reporter).
If you're reading this and wondering how this change will impact you, the answer is very simple: You need to get Paramount Plus to watch "South Park." It's now the exclusive home of the hit animated series, no matter where on Earth you're located.
Paramount Plus is the exclusive home of "South Park," but it also offers hit original shows, the latest movies, and more from every brand in the Paramount umbrella. It even has live sports, including the NFL on CBS.
If you're only concerned about new episodes, you could just subscribe to a live TV streaming service that carries Comedy Central. That's where new episodes of season 27 air before heading to streaming.
The cheapest live TV option in the U.S. for catching new episodes is Philo. It costs just $28 a month and includes Comedy Central, dozens of entertainment channels and AMC Plus.
Right now, you can try Philo free for seven days, which is a pretty good deal. But with prices starting at just $7.99 a month, a Paramount Plus subscription will still be your cheapest way to stream new episodes of "South Park."

Five things to know about ex-WBZ anchor Kate Merrill's lawsuit against station, CBS
The lawsuit names WBZ-TV, CBS and its parent company Paramount Global, WBZ anchor Courtney Cole, former WBZ president and general manager Justin Draper, WBZ meteorologist Jason Mikell, and Paramount employee relations vice president Michael Roderick as defendants. She is claiming race and gender discrimination. Merrill, who is white, said WBZ TV 'exploited' diversity, equity and inclusion policies imposed by its CBS and Paramount in a decision to demote her from weekday morning show host to weekend anchor. On May 17, 2024, Merrill was informed that Paramount's legal department had corroboratedcomplaints of her making racially charged remarks to anchor Courtney Cole who is Black. Merrill resigned on May 24, 2024 because of the 'catastrophic damage' a demotion would have caused to her career, especially given the allegations that she was racist. Black colleagues said she treated them differently. Advertisement The complaint states that Cole complained that Merrill had told her to work in Nashville where she could 'become the main anchor.' Merrill said Cole interpreted the suggestion as a comment on Nashville being a 'better racial fit' than Boston, rather than about how much Merrill, who'd previously worked there, liked the city. Merrill said that Jason Mikell, a WBZ-TV meteorologist, who is Black, interpreted a comment she made, that he would 'find his people' in Boston, as being racist. Advertisement Merrill complained to station management about a co-worker's behavior. Merrill said she had complained about to both the station's news director and human resources about Mikell. She alleges that Mikell implied on air that she and a co-anchor had sexual relations at a gazebo. She told the station's news director, but Mikell was never disciplined. In another instance, Merrill alleges Mikell confronted her on the studio floor, yelling loudly at her and asserting that she was critcizing him after she corrected his pronunciation of town names. Merrill says that Mikell, a native of Mississippi, had previously sought Merrill's help with pronouncing local place names. A coworker disputes Merrill's claims One former WBZ TV employee, Katrina Kincade, disputed some details in the suit. Merrill said that she had become concerned that the station was not providing support for newly hired employees, many of whom were persons of color. In the complaint, Merrill said she was informed that Kincade had expressed disappointment that Merrill had not mentored her. Kincade said she never mentioned wanting to be mentored by Merrill and that Merrill had never told her about her interest in supporting journalists of color at the station.

'South Park' Unleashes on JD Vance in New Episode
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. South Park targeted Vice President JD Vance in a new episode after previously taking aim at President Donald Trump in the season 27 opener. Newsweek contacted Vance's representative for comment on Thursday via an online form outside regular working hours. Why It Matters The satirical animation series has been making headlines since its premiere on July 23, which showed Trump arguing with the Canadian prime minister and lying in bed with Satan. Season 27 comes after a hiatus of almost two and a half years and after creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone reached a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount. What To Know During the highly anticipated second episode, titled "Got a Nut," school counselor Mr. Mackey loses his job at South Park Elementary. As a result, his banker suggests he join the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which offers a "$50,000 signing bonus" and other benefits. He succeeds in the role, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem sends him to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump and a toddler-size Vance. "Boss, the plane is here from Immigration and Customs Enforcement," Vance says, to which Trump replies: "I know, stupid. Let's go." The president later kicks Vance and tells him, "Will you get out of here?" In a separate scene, Vance walks into Trump and Satan's bedroom and asks him: "Would you like me to apply the baby oil to Satan's a******, boss?" An image from the second episode of "South Park" season 27 shows a toddler-size Vice President JD Vance. An image from the second episode of "South Park" season 27 shows a toddler-size Vice President JD Vance. Comedy Central The episode comes on the heels of the Trump administration's new ICE campaign, which is actively recruiting people to help with the detention and deportation of migrants. "We want to thank South Park for drawing attention to ICE law enforcement recruitment," a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson previously told Newsweek. "We are calling on patriotic Americans to help us remove murderers, gang members, pedophiles, and other violent criminals from our country. Benefits available to new ICE recruits include an up to $50,000 signing bonus, student loan forgiveness, and retirement benefits." White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone last month that South Park "hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention." Rogers added, "President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history—and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak." On Tuesday, the DHS posted a photo on X from South Park's new episode to promote ICE recruitment. The South Park X account responded, "Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofd****." What People Are Saying At a Comic-Con panel, South Park co-creator Trey Parker reacted to the White House's criticism following the season 27 premiere: "We're terribly sorry." Podcast host Joe Rogan said of the season 27 premiere: "There's so much chaos. There's so much madness. It's f****** hilarious. They haven't given a f*** since the beginning, and it's the greatest show of all time." What Happens Next New episodes of South Park air Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on Comedy Central and are available to stream on Paramount+ the next day.
