The 5 more seasons makes sense, but signing a deal for 14 separate movies just sounds insane lol.

Edit:
Also the deal is for $900 million over 6 years

14 movies? Jesus...
The original South Park movie burned them out severely while making it, and that was only a few years after the series started. I can't imagine going through 14 of them now while also keeping the show going.

I haven't read the article but I'm guessing the "movie" are just longer episodes centered on one thing, like the Covid special they did.

I kinda was into it a few years ago and then I realized every episode fell into the same pattern

1. Something happens, usually involving the current events of the day
2. Everyone reacts to it in an overly exaggerated way.
3. Kyle makes a speech
4. The issue is resolved

I kinda got bored after realizing this.

The show itself is fully aware of this. There's episodes parodying this very model you're referring to.

Wow Duncan, if that is gonna be a problem for you, you may want to avoid the pattern youd find in most other shows.

I know right, my first experience with south park were people watching it online in computer class laughing their asses off at Cartman and the anal probe aliens, Kyle throwing a ton of swears at them and Kenny's death and Stan vomiting on Wendy. I thought that was the entire appeal of the show, children get into wacky situations that are filled with gross stuff and swears. Now the show is basically Randy Marsh and his sometimes actually trying to be a child co stars. Imaginationland might be the last time I sat through entire south park episodes and that was over a decade ago wasn't it?

I'm guessing this too. A season opener and closer probably. Maybe the seasons will be shorter too

But damn, a $900M is nuts too. Didnt know SP brought in that kinda of scratch still

I'm not naming 10 but i'll give you a solid start:
Friends: One or more of them do something that causes a (usually misunderstood) situation that they solve in 24 minutes.
Full House: One member does something that causes a situation that they come together and solve in 24 minutes.
Cheers: Someone at the bar is having a problem. They come together (sometimes) to solve it in 24 minutes.

ALL of these shows are the same general idea.

this article makes it sound like HBO purchased the rights instead of just licensing them for a period of time.

Probably closer to the saga stuff. I dont see how they could have 14 actual movie ideas already thought out.

Thats an easy task when you have an Awesome-O 4,000. All starring Adam Sandler.

Just one. But if we are counting those big two or three parter episodes and things like the two Covid specials, which is probably closer to what a movie will be with this deal, theres been quite a lot.

I'm surprised Parker and Stone aren't just done with the franchise. They seem to be burnt out. But $900 million is a lot of money to say no to.
