派拉蒙公司与《南方公园》创作者马特·斯通和特雷·帕克达成了一项为期五年的协议,斥资15亿美元获得该系列在全球的流媒体播放权。此前,HBO Max是该剧的流媒体平台。此次交易标志着派拉蒙加强其流媒体服务Paramount+内容的重大举措。尽管交易金额巨大,但考虑到派拉蒙近期在内容和财务决策上的调整,这笔投资的战略意义值得关注。

💰 派拉蒙公司以15亿美元的天价,与《南方公园》的创作者马特·斯通和特雷·帕克达成了为期五年的协议,成功获得了该系列在全球范围内的流媒体播放权。这一举措旨在巩固派拉蒙+作为其核心流媒体平台的地位,并为用户提供备受欢迎的经典内容。

📺 此前,《南方公园》的流媒体版权归属于HBO Max。如今,派拉蒙+将成为该系列节目的独家流媒体平台,展现了其在内容版权争夺上的决心。派拉蒙此前已在其流媒体服务上播出了《南方公园》的原创电影,此次交易进一步加深了其在该IP上的投入。

🤝 派拉蒙最初曾提议与HBO Max共同拥有《南方公园》的流媒体播放权,允许双方平台共同播出过往剧集,但据《洛杉矶时报》报道,双方的谈判最终未能达成一致。这使得派拉蒙获得了独家的流媒体版权。

🚀 此次版权交易发生在《南方公园》第27季在Comedy Central首播之际,也是创作者马特·斯通和特雷·帕克即将参加Comic-Con活动之前。该剧的创作者一向以直言不讳著称,他们的创作风格也一直是《南方公园》吸引观众的重要因素。

⚖️ 15亿美元的交易价格可能会引起争议,尤其是在派拉蒙刚刚宣布取消《科尔伯特深夜秀》并结束与主持人斯蒂芬·科尔伯特的合作,理由是“纯粹的财务决策”。批评人士指出,派拉蒙近期还与唐纳德·特朗普就一段被不公平剪辑的《60分钟》节目片段达成和解,科尔伯特曾称之为“一笔巨额贿赂”。

    Paramount has locked up streaming rights for the entire South Park back catalog. The media company and creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have signed a five-year deal worth $1.5 billion. HBO Max was the previous streaming home to the show.

Paramount has wrapped up long-running negotiations that will bring the entirety of the South Park catalog to its Paramount Plus streaming service, but it’s going to cost them.

The media company has agreed to pay the production company owned by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker $1.5 billion for the global streaming rights for the next five years. HBO Max previously held the streaming rights to the show. Paramount has, instead, aired South Park original films on its streaming service.

Paramount had originally offered to co-stream the series with HBO Max, which would have let both services air back episodes, but talks between the two companies fell apart last weekend, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The deal comes as the 27th season of South Park begins Wednesday night on Comedy Central—a premiere that was delayed once due to behind-the-scenes shuffling—and as Stone and Parker prepare to visit Comic-Con on Thursday. The duo have never held back on expressing their feelings.

The $1.5 billion price tag is likely to raise some eyebrows, however, as it comes so soon after Paramount announced it was cancelling The Late Show and ending its association with host Stephen Colbert, saying it was “purely a financial decision.”  Critics, though, noted the company’s recent settlement with Donald Trump over his claim of an unfairly edited clip form 60 Minutes last year. Colbert had called that settlement “a big fat bribe“.
