Good news for South Park fans—you won’t have to panic-watch all your favorite episodes just yet. Even though the show’s exclusive licensing deal between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max technically ends today, the series isn’t going anywhere for now. Talks to extend the agreement are still in progress, so the raunchy animated hit will stay on Max while negotiations continue.

Editor’s Note: Streaming rights are a messy, high-stakes game, and this shows how fluid these deals can be. For viewers, it’s a relief—no sudden disappearance of a cult favorite. For the industry, it’s another reminder that even "expiring" contracts often get stretched while behind-the-scenes haggling plays out. Basically, don’t trust a deadline until the content actually vanishes.

Apple TV+ is doubling down on its Hollywood ambitions by locking in a long-term deal with Chernin Entertainment, the powerhouse production company behind hits like Hidden Figures and The Planet of the Apes franchise. The agreement gives Apple first dibs on Chernin’s upcoming feature films, building on their existing TV partnership.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another deal—it’s a strategic move in the high-stakes battle for streaming dominance. By securing Chernin’s film projects early, Apple TV+ is betting big on star-studded, awards-friendly content to lure subscribers away from rivals like Netflix and Disney+. For viewers, it likely means more high-quality originals on the platform. For Hollywood, it’s another sign that deep-pocketed tech giants aren’t backing down from traditional studios.
