HBO Max has sued Paramount Global over rights to 'South Park'

HBO Max’s parent company has filed a lawsuit that accuses Paramount Global of reneging on parts of the $500 million licensing deal set in 2019 for the streaming rights to episodes of “South Park.”
The suit, filed Friday in New York state Supreme Court, asserts that Paramount breached the contract by steering “South Park” specials and other content to its own Paramount+ platform.
In a rare interview, Trey Parker and Matt Stone discuss the state of their Emmy-winning animated series—including a delayed return date that Parker attributes to “waiting for Paramount to figure all their shit out.”
The summary judgment ruling opens the door to discovery on Paramount's understanding of its deal with WBD and, possibly, Paramount's viewership and subscriber metrics as they relate to the series.
