During the second half of 2023, the franchise experienced massive growth in terms of Total Viewing Hours (TVH) on the platform across Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, and Spain, and continues to attract new audiences. In the UK, South Park launched at the end of 2023 and immediately joined the top 5 series in the region.
Kat Kowalski, Senior Vice President, International Content Strategy & Acquisitions at Pluto TV said: "At Pluto TV, we listen to our audience, and it's our goal to provide them with content they love in a carefully curated viewing experience. This is exactly what we are doing with South Park. We know that this is one of Paramount's fan-favorite franchises, and we are excited to offer viewers a new way to enjoy a series that, for the last 26 years, has entertained multiple generations with its funny and subversive world across the whole Paramount ecosystem."
Building on MTV Entertainment Studios' expansive deal with co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park has been renewed on Comedy Central through 2027, taking cable's longest-running scripted series through an unprecedented 30th season.
