South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone Sign Lucrative Extension With Comedy Central, Hulu

Deals secure the show through 2019

Unlike death-prone Kenny, it seems that South Park will live forever.

The show is going to air for at least another five years—which will take it through Season 23 in 2019—thanks to two new deals announced today with Comedy Central and Hulu, which has exclusive SVOD rights to all seasons of the show. The move adds a three-year extension to the two years remaining on both deals.

What's unusual about the extensions, first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, is that Hulu's deal will pay Comedy Central's parent company (Viacom) and the show's creators (Trey Parker and Matt Stone) a reported $192 million over five years.
