It has been an anomaly — two of the ViacomCBS’ most prized current IPs and top basic cable series, Yellowstone and South Park, are streaming outside of the company’s ecosystem, on NBCUniversal’s Peacock (Yellowstone) and HBO Max (South Park). One of the two will be rectified after the end of HBO Max’s current mega, five-year domestic deal.
Additionally, the Beavis and Butt-Head revival series, originally set at Comedy Central with two-season order in 2020, will be moving to Paramount+ with a new season, joining the previously announced Beavis and Butt-Head movie, which has now been titled, Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe. The full library of over 200 remastered episodes of the MTV animated series also will stream exclusively on the service.
Beavis and Butt-Head was announced as part of a push in adult animation at Comedy Central built around mainstay South Park. There has been chatter that another project under that strategy, Daria spinoff Jodie, also may make the move to Paramount+, which ViacomCBS has denied. In light of Beavis and Butt-Head’s relocation to Paramount+, the future of Comedy Central’s planned adult animation expansion is unclear.
In the first step of South Park library’s move to Paramount+, the episodes will shift exclusively in SVOD to the ViacomCBS streamer in international markets later this year. Beginning with season 27 in 2024, new episodes of the hit franchise will make their streaming debuts exclusively on the service, both in the U.S. and globally.
And beginning in 2025, Paramount+ will become the global streaming home for the full catalog of South Park episodes, movies, and made-for-streaming movies.
Paramount+ already has been the exclusive home of two South Park made-for-streaming movies on
