The lawsuit accuses Paramount and South Park Digital Studios of using 'grammatical sleight-of-hand' to obscure HBO Max's exclusive streaming rights to the show

Meanwhile, per the lawsuit, HBO Max was also pissed to learn that SPDS was retroactively declaring that the two 2021 specials thatmade their way to HBO Max after airing on Comedy Central “counted” as the entirety of the show’s 24th season, and that Season 25 of the series, which aired in 2022, was only going to be 6 episodes long.

Ultimately, it all comes back to money: Warner Bros. contends that it only paid that huge flat per-episode fee in the first place because it was assured it would come with a) 30 full new episodes of content delivered in a timely fashion, and b) exclusive streaming rights to the show, neither of which really seems to have happened. So they’re suing for breach of contract against Paramount, SPDS and MTV, alleging damages of $200 million.
