The creators of “South Park” are blasting the deliberate merger between Paramount and Skydance following the delay of their animated sequence’ season premiere.
“This merger is a s—show and it is f—ing up ‘South Park,'” mentioned a Wednesday assertion posted on social media from the Comedy Central present’s account and attributed to creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
“We’re on the studio engaged on new episodes and we hope the followers get to see them someway,” the assertion from the pair behind “South Park,” who’re reportedly in a battle over streaming rights for the long-running comedy program, added.
The response from Parker and Stone got here after Comedy Central reportedly delayed the discharge of “South Park’s” 27th season by two weeks, from July 9 to July 23.
The present is thought for satirizing the political local weather and present occasions with razor-sharp and sometimes controversial and profanity-laden commentary.
Paramount, which owns Comedy Central, is currently working to finish a mega-merger with Skydance in a deal price an estimated $28 billion.
Paramount this week also agreed to pay some $16 million to settle a lawsuit introduced by President Trump over the CBS Information interview with then-Vice President Harris that aired on “60 Minutes” final 12 months.
