“South Park” is no longer available to stream on Paramount+.

All 26 seasons of the popular animated comedy series have been wiped from the streaming service. While nine “South Park” specials like “South Park: The End of Obesity,” “South Park: Joining the Panderverse,” and “South Park: The 25th Anniversary Concert” are still available on the platform, the actual series is gone.

Some reports claim that only Paramount+ subscribers outside of the U.S. are experiencing this, but as of Saturday morning, it appears that the show is no longer available for U.S. account holders as well.

Paramount+ has not publicly announced this, but the company responded to a fan who inquired about the show’s status.

“Unfortunately, ‘South Park’ has come to an end of the window in which we have the rights to carry it on Paramount+ which is why is now has to come down from the platform,” a Paramount+ representative wrote to a fan via email. The user then shared the statement on Reddit.

The news of “South Park” being removed comes amid tensions between the show’s creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and Paramount Global. For context, Paramount Global is the parent company of Paramount+ and other major networks like Comedy Central, where “South Park” also airs.

The media empire is currently in the middle of a merger with another entertainment company, Skydance. This appears to be causing a host of problems behind the scenes.

Earlier this month, Comedy Central announced that “South Park” Season 27, which was originally slated to premiere on July 9, would be pushed back a few weeks.

In response, Parker and Stone took to the “South Park” official X account to tell fans that this wasn’t their decision. It read: “This merger is a shitshow and it’s f—–g up ‘South Park.’ We are at the studio working on new episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.”

The Hollywood Reporter also reported last month that Parker and Stone threatened legal action against Paramount through their attorney, accusing the company’s incoming president, Jeff Shell, of interfering in their contract negotiations with other streaming platforms. The outlet also reported that Paramount still has two years left on its $900 million deal for the digital rights to “South Park.”

It’s unclear when and if the beloved adult comedy will return to the streaming platform, but as of right now, “South Park” Season 27 is set to premiere on Comedy Central on Wednesday, July 23 at 10 p.m. ET.

For fans looking to watch old episodes of the show, all 26 seasons of “South Park” are available to stream on HBO Max.
