Not Family Guy, not Rick and Morty, not even The Simpsons…South Park.
That’s right, after 26 seasons the series is still going strong and there’s data to support that as well, and quite frankly, puts a damper on WarnerBros Discovery’s claims that the franchise isn’t giving enough return on it’s $500 million agreement, in fact, quite the opposite.
According to Nielsen’s ratings for April 2023, which would be the first full month that the entirety of the show’s 26th season would be made available on HBO MAX, South Park logged 700 million minutes of viewing time which makes South Park the most-watched acquired adult animated series for the month of April 2023.
As for the future of South Park, expect to see a few more “made for TV movies” to release sometime later this year for Paramount+ and soon you can own seasons 21-25 on Blu-Ray for which you can get details for here.
“South Park,” created by comic geniuses Trey Parker and Matt Stone, features the breathtakingly irreverent and ruthlessly funny misadventures of four foul-mouthed, troublemaking young boys in a small town nestled in the Colorado Rockies. It has been praised by the prestigious Peabody® committee as “COMEDY CENTRAL’s notoriously rude, undeniably fearless lampoon of all that is self-important and hypocritical in American life, regardless of race, creed, color or celebrity status.” We couldn’t agree more.
“South Park” continues to surprise even its most devoted fans each and every week. Known for its unbelievably immediate and ruthless responses to world events, “South Park’s” new episodes bring up-to-the-minute news and pop culture icons (including Al Gore, J. Lo, Kanye West, Oprah, Sir Elton John, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and P. Diddy) to the town of South Park for social commentary and good old-fashioned ridicule.
“South Park” launched on August 13, 1997 and is based on the animated short entitled, “The Spirit of Christmas.” Co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are Executive Producers, along with Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II. Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bill Hader, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are Producers.
