Paramount's 'South Park' streaming deal is in limbo as Skydance merger drags on
Media giant Paramount Global is trying to avoid a streaming future without Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny. As Paramount struggles to complete a key merger, the company is in the midst of a protracted negotiation to extend one of its biggest and most important franchises: the long-running foulmouthed cartoon "South Park." Paramount's $900-million overall deal with "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker doesn't expire for another two years. New episodes run first on Paramount's basic cable network Comedy Central. But efforts to renew that venture and bring the show to the Paramount+ streaming service have hit a major snag, according to three people familiar with the discussions who were not authorized to speak publicly. The situation highlights deep tensions and disagreements as a trio of executives try to manage Paramount until the company's sale to David Ellison's Skydance Media, which has the right to approve or deny large deals such as the "South Park" pact under covenants made with Paramount. Paramount leaders are desperate to lock down "South Park's" streaming rights in the U.S. and abroad. They've long been frustrated by a licensing arrangement made six years ago by the previous regime that sent "South Park" to rival HBO Max, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. That deal expires this month. "South Park" is one of Paramount's most important shows. Along with "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," the four boys and their celebrity-skewering ways put Comedy Central on the map for basic cable viewers, taking on hot-button issues from Scientology and the War on Terror to the royal family and the Trump administration. During a May earnings call, Paramount co-Chief Executive Chris McCarthy — who runs Paramount's media networks as well as Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios — told investors that "South Park" episodes would begin streaming on Paramount+ in July. However, Paramount hasn't nailed down the streaming rights to "South Park," according to the three people familiar with the conversations. Since earlier this year, Paramount has made at least one offer to Parker and Stone as an early extension of their overall deal. The company also wants to secure rights to stream the 333 episodes of "South Park" on Paramount+. Some of the knowledgeable people expect "South Park" distribution fees to be valued at more than $200 million a year. But Skydance hasn't signed off, believing the deals to be too rich, according to the sources. Paramount executives believe the show is worth the big bucks, given the show's enduring popularity and legacy. Representatives for Paramount and Skydance declined to comment. Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel, whose firm WME represents Parker and Stone, defended Paramount and Skydance's handling of the situation on Friday by phone. "Nobody has rejected anything. They are just doing their analysis," Emanuel told The Times in a brief interview. "We've got offers from other distributors. Everybody wants this show." Skydance's $8-billion takeover of Paramount has been in a holding pattern for months as the two companies wait for federal regulators' approval. Skydance, backed by tech mogul Larry Ellison and RedBird Capital Partners, is eager to take over the storied media company. They intend to bring increased financial rigor to Paramount's operations, other sources have said. Paramount and Skydance have told Wall Street the deal will bring $2 billion in cost savings, with half of that coming in the first year. Deadlines are looming. The new season, the program's 27th, is scheduled to debut July 9 on Comedy Central. Unless Paramount strikes a deal with the creators by June 23, the company risks losing the franchise's streaming rights because Parker and Stone could shop the show to other interested streamers, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Hulu. However, sources cautioned that negotiations could go past the June deadline and that the parties expect a deal to get done. Read more: Oh my God, they sued Kenny! HBO Max and Paramount's battle for 'South Park' Represented by their longtime attorney Kevin Morris, who is leading the current negotiations, the duo carved out the internet rights nearly two decades ago. They formed a joint venture with Paramount (then known as Viacom) called South Park Digital Studios. That decision proved highly lucrative for Parker and Stone, also known for the hit Broadway musical "The Book of Mormon." Paramount runs the joint venture with Stone and Parker, sharing control of the streaming rights to the show that launched in 1997 on Comedy Central, although the duo can veto streaming deals they find unfavorable. Companies are typically not supposed to wade too deeply into another firm's affairs. Federal antitrust laws prohibit so-called gun-jumping, when an acquiring company begins calling the shots before a deal's official closure. But Paramount agreed to accept Skydance's input on big-ticket expenditures while the two sides wait for the deal to close. The "South Park" streaming rights negotiations also have been complicated by a lawsuit brought two years ago by Warner Bros. Discovery. That company accused Paramount of violating terms of its 2019 licensing pact for "South Park," after Warner paid about $540 million for the show's streaming rights. Paramount and the "South Park" creators developed specials featuring the four animated boys in a fictional Colorado mountain town to stream exclusively on Paramount+. Warner argued the move violated its licensing deal. HBO Max declined to comment. Two years after the HBO Max deal, Paramount struck a new accord with Parker and Stone for $900 million, sealing their partnership and ensuring new episodes of "South Park" would be made. That deal runs to 2027, although Paramount executives have offered to extend that arrangement for several years. Paramount has long intended to shift the show to Paramount+ as soon as the HBO Max deal expires. The various parties have long envisioned a scenario where domestic and international rights would be shared by at least two different streaming services. Although neither partner would have exclusive rights, the current trend in television is for studios to maximize revenue to help pay for expensive programs, like "South Park," while maintaining some streaming rights.

The company has sought to settle President Trump's $20-billion lawsuit claiming subsidiary CBS News deceptively edited a "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, an allegation CBS denies. Trump's case hasn't been resolved, and the Federal Communications Commission has been slow to review Skydance's proposed takeover of Paramount, extending the deal review. The Skydance transaction has been pending at the FCC since last fall, leaving Paramount executives in limbo.

Prince Harry And Meghan Snubbed From The Trooping The Colour Again As Royal Rift Deepens
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not invited to the 2025 Trooping the Colour, marking their third consecutive exclusion from the royal event. Despite Harry's recent call for reconciliation, insiders say the rift with the royal family is deepening. King Charles reportedly remains distant due to trust issues, and Prince William is firmly against mending ties. Experts highlight that no palace aides are encouraging reconciliation, and the royals no longer trust Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with private conversations. According to People Magazine, Harry and Meghan have not been invited to this year's Trooping the Colour, the annual military parade held to celebrate King Charles' official birthday, set to take place on Saturday, June 14. This marks the third consecutive year the couple has been excluded from the event amid their ongoing estrangement from the royal family. The last time the pair attended the military parade was in 2022, during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. Even then, they weren't permitted on the main royal balcony and instead watched from a separate area reserved for non-working royals. Since Queen Elizabeth's passing and Charles's rise to the throne later that year, Harry and Meghan have been entirely left off the guest list for Trooping the Colour. Royal commentator Richard Eden emphasized the significance of their continued absence. He noted that 2023 was "the first year of his life that Harry hasn't been invited at all." Reflecting on how their status has evolved, Eden said: "With Harry and Meghan, we've always had a sort of 'will they, won't they' before every big royal occasion." "Well, it seems like the palace has tackled this this time by just not inviting them at all," Eden added. "So, you know, it's significant. Despite stepping back from royal duties and relocating to California in 2020, there had once been hope that Harry and Meghan would still be included in major royal traditions. Eden recalled that "When Harry and Meghan quit royal duties, I think officials were very keen to stress that they would still be invited to occasions such as Trooping the Colour." The US-based royals' ongoing absence, however, has now reflected a deeper rift that might never heal between the warring parties. "The fact they haven't been invited is very significant," he noted. News that Harry and Meghan were not invited to Trooping the Colour for the third consecutive year comes amid fresh tensions within the royal family, and just weeks after Harry publicly expressed a desire to reconcile with his father. In a May interview with the BBC, the Duke of Sussex opened up about his strained relationship with the royal family after losing his final bid for taxpayer-funded security in the UK. "There have been so many disagreements between me and some of my family," he said, adding that he had now "forgiven" them. He continued: "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile." Despite Harry's plea for peace, insiders suggest the damage may be beyond repair. According to royal expert Hilary Fordwich, there is reportedly "no turning back" for Harry and Charles after more than five years of fractured relations. "King Charles remains tender towards his son, but can't risk communication. Prince William now has absolutely no interest in mending fences," Fordwich told Fox News. "The animosity is so deep that William has shut the door on Harry," she added. "Charles is not willing to go against his heir's wishes." Fordwich emphasized that "Everything comes down to trust and the lack of it." Fordwich's remarks align with recent reports from People Magazine, which also highlighted the king's hesitance to reconnect with his youngest son. In the report, Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told the publication: "The underlying issue is trust. The king and William don't trust Harry and Meghan with any kind of confidential conversation." Insiders further revealed that Charles is not being advised by anyone within the palace to make amends, and William is firmly against extending any olive branch. As royal author Valentine Low pointed out: "There is not a good angel in [the king's] ear to say, 'Be a good dad and make the first move.'"
