After the show disappeared from international territories, the back catalog will run exclusively on the streamer, which will also host new episodes the day after airing.

Streaming disputes are notoriously weedsy, but here's the long and short of it. Back in 2019, Max secured exclusive U.S. streaming rights for "South Park" in a $500 million deal. When Paramount Plus launched in 2021, international streaming rights shifted to the platform, which is owned by Comedy Central’s parent company.

Amid a streaming rights battle, the platform's license to stream the series internationally has expired, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
