South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone renewed their deal with Paramount for $1.5 billion a little over a year ago. This agreement followed contentious negotiations that reportedly delayed the production of the 2025 season.
The deal raised questions about whether Paramount, now owned by David Ellison, would grant the creators creative freedom. It also made Parker and Stone likely billionaires themselves, with each estimated to have a net worth of over $1 billion, partly due to this renewal and their co-ownership of South Park intellectual property.
The second episode of the show's 29th season explores the divide between billionaires and regular people. The episode depicts billionaires as tiny, sentient penises addicted to sharing opinions on podcasts and social media.
