I read some speculation they won’t make any new episodes until they get a new contract.

Iirc they signed a $500 million dollar contract with hbo max for streaming but only for the episodes. Then they signed a massive deal with paramount for movies and specials. And have only made movies/specials since. I believe hbo is suing because of it. But their contract with Parker and Stone is up soon.

I suspect they’ll keep making specials to keep their new business daddy happy until paramount buys the rights to the episodes, then maybe we’ll get another proper season.

Although in Canada I’m pretty sure paramount owns the rights to both movies and episodes so it may not make a difference for Canadian viewers.
