SOUTH PARK IS BACK AND GETTING SUED?! | South Park Season 26 1st half | Review and Breakdown

South Park returned to Comedy Central to kick off its latest season with some pretty big episodes, with the first two installments respectively taking aim at Kanye West’s anti-Semitic comments and the media tour headlined by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. While there were light rumors about the royal family offshoots potentially suing the animated series, those were soon denied, only for another monster of a lawsuit to rise up that has nothing to do with Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s satirizing in particular. Instead, the lawsuit in question is more of a battle between two of the biggest entertainment companies out there, with Warner Bros. Discovery going after Paramount Global for millions of dollars over the claims that the latter breached contracts with its straight-to-streaming South Park fare. Execs at HBO Max are less concerned with the content itself, and more that their platform is missing out on original content. (And not the episodes that were pulled from streaming by the platform itself.)
